Closing Remarks At North American Securities Administrators Association Section 19(d) Conference, SEC Commissioner Kara M. Stein, Washington D.C., May 9, 2017

It is always a pleasure to participate in the annual Section 19(d) conference.  Since last year’s conference, NASAA and the SEC have deepened our mutual cooperation on matters affecting our markets and investors.  The Memorandum of Understanding and Information Sharing Agreement between the SEC and NASAA, which was signed in February is one example of the coordination we have accomplished since last year.  This forum provides yet another opportunity for us to share ideas and to think broadly about how best to support our mutual goals of protecting investors and the integrity of our markets.
