Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Mary Jo White’s ambitious agenda to revamp U.S. equity market structure is bumping up against the reality of the calendar.
With a new president taking office in 2017, a leadership change at the SEC could follow, leaving White only a few months left to pursue her vision of stronger markets through new data collection and rulemakings.
White showed where her priorities are as the end of 2016 draws near, in a Sept. 14 speech to a Security Traders Association’s conference in Washington.
