Following the SEC’s recent proposal allowing issuers, investment advisers and broker-dealers to use electronic delivery as the default method for sending regulatory disclosures and reports, partner Issa Hanna discusses the proposal’s potential benefits. He comments on the proposal’s alignment with the agency’s broader goal to “increase efficiency and lower costs in the marketplace,” while also noting practical challenges around ensuring investors continue to receive required information electronically.
