Letter Type A:

Dear Chairman Atkins, Commissioners, and SEC staff 

I'm writing to thank the SEC for taking action on something that's long overdue: modernizing how fund documents reach investors like me. 
The SEC's proposed rule to make e-delivery the default for fund disclosures is a smart, overdue fix that meets investors where they already are. Modernizing delivery means faster access to information, less clutter, and a process that actually works for the way people live and manage their money today. This is a win for investors, and I'm glad to see the SEC moving in this direction. 

The numbers make the case clearly: 88% of investors prefer electronic delivery as the default method of communication. That preference holds strong across generations too, with 87% of investors older than 65 supporting default e-delivery. And for anyone who prefers paper, that option remains fully available under the law, so every investor gets a system that works for them. 

This isn't just about preference, it's about savings. Recent estimates show potential annual savings ranging from $589 million to $797 million per year for investors and funds, adding up to billions of dollars over just a few years. That's real money that should stay in investors' pockets, not go toward printing and mailing paper most people never wanted in the first place. 

It's 2026, and with technology in the palm of our hands, modernizing how we deliver financial communications simply makes sense. I urge the SEC to finish the job and finalize the rule on electronic delivery, bringing financial communications into the 21st century. 
This is a simple, smart update for our digital age, one that will help more Americans stay informed, engaged, and in control of their financial future. Thank you to Chairman Atkins for leading the way in modernizing disclosure. Now let's get this rule across the finish line. 

Sincerely,
