Fixed-Income Advisory Committee RE: ICI Member Call on May 21 at 1:00 PM (Eastern) to Discuss FINRA's Proposal to Study Changes to Corporate Bond Dissemination Rules
As previously reported, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) recently requested comment on a proposed pilot program to study changes to corporate bond block trade dissemination rules based on recommendations of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Fixed Income Market Structure Advisory Committee. ICI summarized the proposed pilot in a member memorandum that is available here.
We learned that members hold divergent views about the proposed pilot during a member call on April 24. On Tuesday, May 21 at 1:00 pm (Eastern) we will hold a second member call to discuss whether a consensus exists for ICI to submit a comment letter on this proposal. Please contact Monique Curtis at monique.curtis@ici.org to receive dial-in information for the call.
