ICI Chief Blasts the SEC's Money Fund Plan


The head of the Investment Company Institute minced no words when commenting on the SEC's plans to further tighten money-market fund regulation.

"Fifty-six million investors use these funds. The SEC proposal would be outrageous," InvestmentNews quoted Paul Schott Stevens as saying.

"It would drive a lot of providers out of the business immediately and those left would have a product that no one wants to buy," he said. "Otherwise, it's a great idea."
