The SEC has announced the agenda for its next Investor Advisory Committee (IAC) meeting, to be held on June 4 at 10 a.m. ET at the SEC’s headquarters and via webcast. The meeting will consist of two panels:

– Avoiding Retail Confusion Regarding Private Market Assets

– Passive Index Funds and Shareholder Voting

They will also discuss a potential recommendation regarding fund proxy voting and another regarding quarterly versus semi-annual reporting.

Speaking of quarterly v. semiannual reporting, we will be hosting a webcast later that day at 2 pm ET: “The SEC’s Semiannual Reporting Proposal: Considering the Alternatives.” Our panel of SEC experts – Skadden’s Brian Breheny, WilmerHale’s Meredith Cross, Gibson Dunn’s Tom Kim and Goodwin’s (and our own) Dave Lynn – will discuss the SEC’s semiannual reporting proposal and explore the practical implications of a shift to semiannual reporting for issuers, auditors, underwriters and the markets.
