SEC to Host Market Technology Roundtable

The SEC announced that it will host a technology roundtable next month to discuss ways to promote stability in markets that rely on highly automated systems.

The roundtable, entitled "Technology and Trading: Promoting Stability in Today's Markets," will take place on September 14 and convene experts on designing, operating, and controlling the systems that form the core of our market's infrastructure.

[SL Comment: The roundtable is likely intended to provide a kick-off for the SEC's consideration of significant rule-making as to the use of electronic trading systems by broker-dealers and funds.]
