Stephanie Ortbals-Tibbs, Director, Media Relations: Welcome to Focus on Funds, the Investment Company Institute’s weekly roundup of industry news, ICI activities, and research findings.
As 2014 draws near its close, what does ICI expect to be the major issues facing the fund industry in 2015?
President and CEO Paul Stevens offers his perspective on the coming year.
Paul Schott Stevens, ICI President and CEO: In 2015, we’ll be working with our members as they prepare to implement the SEC’s complex new rules for money market funds.
We also will continue our engagement with regulators in the United States and with their counterparts on the Financial Stability Board as they consider the resilience of funds in the global financial system.
And, with a new Congress convening in January, we of course will be working with members and the leadership as they consider a host of issues—these include questions around tax reform and possible changes to our pension system.
As always, we will continue to emphasize the strengths and successes of the 401(k) system.
Stephanie Ortbals-Tibbs, Director, Media Relations: Stevens offers more perspective in the latest edition of ICI’s Annual Report, now posted on the publications section of the Institute’s website.
That’s this week in funds. See you next week from London and ICI Global’s Trading and Market Structure Conference.
