SEC Commissioner Calls for Increased Examination of Alternative Mutual Funds
In a recent speech, SEC Commissioner Kara M. Stein argued that alternative mutual funds operate in a “gray area” of mutual fund regulation and called for increased examination of those funds and their operation within the restrictions of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Using the 75th anniversary of the Investment Company Act as an occasion for her speech, Stein discussed the history of the regulatory framework for investment companies; argued that mutual funds and other registered companies have drifted from the principles of the Investment Company Act; and provided her thoughts on alternative mutual funds and retail investors. This article summarizes Stein’s statements.
