SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Sunshine Act Meetings

TIME AND DATE: Notice is hereby given, pursuant to the provisions of 
the Government in the Sunshine Act, Public Law 94-409, that a public 
roundtable will be held in Baltimore, MD on Thursday, September 20, 
2018 from 6:00-7:30 p.m. (ET).

PLACE: The roundtable will be held at the Reginald F. Lewis Museum of 
Maryland African American History & Culture, 830 E Pratt Street, 
Baltimore, MD 21202.

STATUS: The roundtable will be open to the public. Seating for public 
observers will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Doors will open 
at 5:30 p.m. and the event will begin at 6:00 p.m. Visitors will be 
subject to security checks. A transcript of the roundtable will be made 
available in the comment file for the Commission's proposed rulemaking 
package regarding the standards of conduct for investment 
professionals.

MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED: On April 18, 2018, the Commission voted to 
propose a package of rulemakings and interpretations designed to 
enhance the quality and transparency of investors' relationships with 
investment advisers and broker-dealers while preserving access to a 
variety of types of advice relationships and investment products. On 
April 24, 2018, Chairman Jay Clayton issued a statement announcing that 
he had asked SEC staff to put together a series of roundtables focused 
on the retail investor to be held in different cities across the 
country. The roundtables are intended to gather information directly 
from those investors most affected by the Commission's rulemaking.
    The Baltimore roundtable is open to the public. This Sunshine Act 
notice is being issued because a quorum of the Commission may attend 
the roundtable.
    The agenda for the meeting includes a discussion with Chairman 
Clayton, Commissioners Kara Stein, Robert Jackson and Elad Roisman, and 
senior SEC staff regarding the Commission's proposed Regulation Best 
Interest and the proposed restriction on the use of certain names or 
titles; a discussion regarding the Commission's proposed Form CRS 
Relationship Summary, including effective disclosure and design.

CONTACT PERSON FOR MORE INFORMATION: For further information, please 
contact Brent J. Fields from the Office of the Secretary at (202) 551-
5400.

    Dated: September 12, 2018.
Brent J. Fields,
Secretary.
