The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved new regulations for security-based swap execution facilities, part of the agency’s steady progress in implementing languishing rules from the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010.
Security-based swap execution facilities will be required to register with the SEC and submit to a regulation regime, the agency announced Thursday in a press release. The new regulatory regime will mitigate conflicts of interest in the security-based swap market and make it more transparent, said SEC Chair Gary Gensler.
It will also require those entities to hire chief compliance officers to oversee compliance with the new rules.
