SEC Chairman Clayton Announces Event for Main Street Investors in Chicago

Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Jay Clayton today announced an event for Main Street investors to be held in Chicago on Thursday, August 15. Chairman Clayton will participate in a roundtable with Main Street investors as part of the SEC’s ongoing investor engagement and education efforts. The roundtable will focus on issues relevant to Main Street investors, such as tips to avoid fraud, the impact of fees and costs, and the key differences between broker-dealers and investment advisers. It is the latest in a series of investor engagement and education events that included a previous investor roundtable held earlier this summer in Boston.
