Lost in the shuffle of the approval of its controversial climate-related disclosure rule, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Wednesday also adopted amendments to its rule for order executions in national market system (NMS) stocks.
The changes will expand the disclosure requirements under Rule 605 of Regulation NMS to include broker-dealers who carry 100,000 or more customer accounts, the SEC said in a fact sheet.
