The roundtable, which will be available by Webcast on the SEC's Web site, will tackle topics such as potential for money market funds to pose a systemic risk to broader financial markets. Panelists will also discuss possible options for further regulatory reform and their implications, including floating NAV and bank regulations, among others.
