Short Sale Reporting Study Required by Dodd-Frank Act Section 417(a)(2)
23 Jun 2011
Source: Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
Deadline: 23 June 2011
The Securities and Exchange Commission has published a request for public comment on the feasibility, benefits, and costs of two short selling disclosure regimes as a part of a study mandated by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
More specifically the SEC is looking for comments on a transactions reporting regime adding short sale-related marks to the consolidated tape in a voluntary pilot program, and on a position reporting regime would entail real time reporting of investors’ short positions either to the public or to regulators only.
