Washington – Today Jennifer Han, MFA Managing Director & Counsel, Regulatory Affairs issued the following statement on the adoption of the SEC’s rule for a national market system plan governing the public dissemination of consolidated equity market data:
“MFA applauds the SEC’s adoption of a market data infrastructure rule that will bring needed competition to the market for consolidated equity data and increase detail and depth of book information available to market participants. Enhanced access to market data, including the ability of investment managers to be self-aggregators, will enable more market participants to make better investment decisions and improve market efficiency. MFA members use this data to deliver reliable returns over time for investors like pensions, foundations, and endowments.”
