Speech By SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro: Opening Statement At SEC Open Meeting: Item 1 — Prohibitions And Restrictions On Proprietary Trading
Good morning. This is an open meeting of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on October 12, 2011.
The Commission today will consider two proposals stemming from the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
- First, we will consider whether to propose a rule to implement Section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Act — or what we commonly refer to as the Volcker Rule.
- Second, we will consider whether to propose new rules that would set out the registration process for security-based swap dealers and major security-based swap participants.
I would like to thank the U.K. Financial Services Authority and its technical staff as well as the Commission’s technical staff for making it possible for me to participate in this open meeting from London. Although I do not know if this is a first for the Commission, it certainly is a first for me, and I appreciate the effort that has gone into facilitating this transatlantic open meeting to propose these important Dodd-Frank Act rulemakings.

Response To ESMA Consultation On Systems And Controls
Significant technology advancements have been implemented by trading venues, in a bid to provide the investor with improved access to and interaction with the market. One of them is high frequency trading (HFT), which allows more accurate, granular and faster pricing of securities. Following the US Flash Crash - the roots of which are, for various reasons, specific to the US - the focuses has shifted to HFT and the potentially detrimental effects it may have on already volatile markets. It is important note that HFT makes a positive contribution to market quality; nonetheless, it is also vital to deal with the concerns surrounding HFT activity and its effect on market safety and integrity. Recent research conducted on the subject of HFT and market efficiency found that, to date, there is no direct evidence that HFT trading has increased volatility. In this regard, FESE welcomes this opportunity to outline the provisions taken by its members to foresee potential problems and the tools that they have put in place to safeguard against them.
