SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

In accordance with the requirements of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C.—App, the Commission is publishing this notice that the Chairman of the Commission, with the concurrence of the other Commissioners, intends to establish the Securities and Exchange Commission Asset Management Advisory Committee (the “Committee”). The Chairman of the Commission affirms that the establishment of the Committee is necessary and in the public interest.[1]

The Committee's objectives and scope of its activities are to provide the Commission with (a) diverse perspectives on asset management, including (i) trends and developments affecting investors and market participants, (ii) the effects of globalization, including as it relates to operations, risks and regulation, and (iii) changes in the role of technology and service providers, as well as (b) related advice and recommendations.

No more than 21 voting members will be appointed to the Committee. Such members shall represent a cross-section of those directly affected by, interested in, and/or qualified to provide advice to the Commission on matters related to asset management. The Committee's membership will be balanced fairly in terms of points of view represented. Non-voting members may also be named.

The charter will provide that the duties of the Committee are to be solely advisory. The Commission alone will make any determinations of actions to be taken and policies to be expressed with respect to matters within the Commission's jurisdiction. The Committee will meet at such intervals as are necessary to carry out its functions. The charter contemplates that the full Committee will meet four times annually. Meetings of subgroups or subcommittees of the full Committee may occur more frequently.

The Committee will operate for two years from the date the charter is filed with the appropriate entities or such earlier date as determined by the Commission unless, before the expiration of that time period, it is renewed in accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act. The Committee may be established 15 days after publication of this notice in the Federal Register by filing a charter for the Committee with the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs of the United States Senate, the Committee on Financial Services of the United States House of Representatives, and the Committee Management Secretariat of the General Services Administration. A copy of the charter as so filed also will be filed with the Chairman of the Commission, furnished to the Library of Congress, and posted on the Commission's website at www.sec.gov.

By the Commission.

Dated: October 8, 2019.

Vanessa A. Countryman,

Secretary.
