SEC chairman returns ''first principles' to public markets, supports Texas exchange
Atkins proposed three changes to streamline disclosures, ease IPOs and curb costly lawsuits as U.S. listings have fallen 40% since the mid-1990s.
- Exchange Commission Chairman Paul Atkins outlined his plan to return "first principles" to public markets during a Texas Stock Exchange roundtable in Miami.
- Atkins pointed to "decades of accretive rulemakings and regulatory adventurism" that narrowed the path to public company status; the number of listed companies dropped from more than 7,800 in the mid-1990s.
- His plan to "make IPOs great again" includes modernizing disclosure reports "so that they are meaningful, understandable, and not a repellant to investors," and offering litigation alternatives to shield innovators.
- Texas Gov Greg Abbott and Florida Gov Ron DeSantis discussed how "Eleven" states in the "Boom Belt" are outpacing other regions in economic growth, job creation, and foreign investment.
- Taken together, Atkins said these reforms "represent something larger than a regulatory agenda" and "herald the SEC's return to first principles that have made this region's ascent so remarkable.
