Speaking at a conference session on how global macroeconomic trends affect U.S. capital markets, Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Jay Clayton said Wednesday the agency is “devoted” to “transparency and pricing.”
Clayton’s fireside chat, part of the SEC’s conference on the state of U.S. securities markets held in Washington D.C., was conducted alongside Glenn Hutchins, co-founder of Silver Lake Partners, and Gary Cohn, a former director of the U.S. National Economic Council (and former president and COO of Goldman Sachs). During the discussion, Clayton acknowledged regulators cannot afford to “use yesterday’s technology” to achieve their goals of transparency and investor protection.
