Section 911 of the Dodd-Frank Act established the new Investor Advisory Committee to advise the Commission on regulatory priorities, the regulation of securities products, trading strategies, fee structures, the effectiveness of disclosure, and on initiatives to protect investor interests and to promote investor confidence and the integrity of the securities marketplace.
The Dodd-Frank Act authorizes the committee to submit findings and recommendations for review and consideration by the Commission. (Links to the Committee’s recommendations can be found below.) Members of the Committee are chosen from among knowledgeable representatives of both retail and institutional investors. (Links to the biographies of current Committee members can be found below.)
