Cox to Take a Hard Line on Soft Dollars?

News summary by MFWire's editors

The SEC has set a date to talk soft dollars. Wednesday, the regulatory agency will hold a meeting to consider whether to issue guidance to fund boards regarding the use of fund brokerage commissions to purchase brokerage and research services. With his term winding down, Chris Cox is thinking legacy, finally getting a rule passed on soft dollars would be a coup as it has been an issue on the SEC's plate for years now. The complete meeting notice follows for anyone wanting to stop by and put in their two cents.
