Striving To Restructure Money Markets Funds To Address Potential Systemic Risk By SEC Commissioner Luis A. Aguilar
Today, the Commission considers amending the rules that govern money market funds to address potential systemic risks. Before I begin, I would like to recognize the efforts of the staff throughout the SEC, especially the Division of Investment Management and the Division of Risk, Strategy, and Financial Innovation. I acknowledge and appreciate the staff’s good work in examining the 2010 amendments to Rule 2a-7 and the staff’s report, which concluded that, among other things, the 2010 amendments would not have been adequate to prevent the systemic risks that we saw in 2008. This report has resulted in the much-improved proposal that is before us today.

Statement At Open Meeting Regarding A Rule Proposal On Money Market Fund Reform By SEC Commissioner Troy A. Paredes
Thank you, Chair White.
The Commission, given its experience, expertise, and mission, is best positioned to shape the regulation of money market funds. The Commission has continued to consider additional money market fund reforms beyond those we adopted in 2010 before Dodd-Frank was even enacted. We have made good progress since last summer because of the hard work of the Commission staff, and I believe that the Commission would have moved forward with a rulemaking even without FSOC’s intervention.
