The SEC’s Investor Advisory Committee will hold its next public meeting on December 13, 2018 at 9:00 am.  The Committee’s agenda includes a discussion regarding disclosures on sustainability and environmental, social and governance topics, and a discussion regarding unpaid arbitration awards.  Earlier this fall, the SEC received a petition for rulemaking on ESG disclosure, which was signed by institutional investors that included CalPERs, New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli, Illinois State Treasurer Michael Frerichs, Connecticut State Treasurer Denise Nappier and others representing over $5 trillion in managed assets.  The rulemaking petition called for the SEC to propose for comment a comprehensive framework that would require issuers to address certain ESG matters.  The petition is available here.

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission’s Investor Advisory Committee will meet telephonically on November 7 at 2 p.m. Eastern Time.  The meeting is open to the public.  During this meeting, the committee intends to address the proposed Regulation Best Interest and the proposed Form CRS Relationship Summary.  In recent remarks, representatives of the Commission have indicated that completing Regulation Best Interest is a high priority and is slated to take place before the fall of 2019.  The press release with details for the meeting is available here.
