Speech by SEC Commissioner:
Restoring Investors' Voices — The Launch of the Investor Advisory Committee
by
Commissioner Luis A. Aguilar
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
Washington, D.C.
Good Morning and Welcome to the SEC.
Today marks an important step in the Commission's future. With the launch of the Investor Advisory Committee, the Commission is signaling that it is returning to its roots as "the investor's advocate." As Congress and the Commission look toward regulatory restructuring and reinvigorating the Commission with new authority and enhanced resources to fulfill its mission as the country's capital markets regulator, it is imperative that we listen to the voices of investors.
The heart and soul of this agency is investor protection. I applaud Chairman Schapiro for prioritizing the formation of this Committee. I have supported the idea of an investors' committee for a long time. The need to restore the voices of investors has never been more vital and I am thrilled to be the committee's sponsor.
