Federated Investors' Cunningham Says of the 15c3-3 Market "It's Huge". In the current issue of
Money Fund Intelligence, we interview Senior VP & Taxable Money Fund CIO
Deborah Cunningham of
Federated Investors. We ask about an
S.E.C. proposal to modify Rule 15c3-3, which would allow large government money funds to be used as collateral for brokerage firms. She tells us, "
We're in the process right now of attempting to get some things [passed by the SEC] that could open up another $100 billion in market assets, if it goes through as we would like it to.... It's huge." Comments are being accepted on the Proposed "
Amendments to Financial Responsibility Rules for Broker-Dealers" until May 18. Comments so far may be seen
here.
