SUMMARY
SIFMA submitted comments to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board’s (“MSRB’s”) Filing of a Proposed Rule Change Consisting of Amendments to Rule G–10, on Investor and Municipal Advisory Client Education and Protection, and Rule G–48, on Transactions With Sophisticated Municipal Market Professionals, To Amend Certain Dealer Obligations (the “Filing”).
SIFMA supports many elements of the proposed amendments, which reduce the compliance burden on the dealer community without reducing investor protections. The proposed amendments will render potential cost savings, and each customer notification that no longer needs to be printed or mailed will reduce the environmental impact of this process.
