The Securities and Exchange Commission’s Investor Advisory Committee has released the agenda for its upcoming meeting on September 13, 2018.  The committee will begin with a discussion on U.S. proxy voting infrastructure.  The Committee will then address the SEC’s proposed transaction fee pilot in National Market System (NMS) stocks, which, as the agenda notes, may also include a recommendation from the Committee’s Market Structure Subcommittee.  Finally, the Committee will discuss the implications of passive investing.

The meeting will begin at 9am ET and will be held at the SEC’s headquarters.  The meeting is open to the public and will also be webcast on the SEC’s website.
