Welcome to STA 2017
by Jon Schneider, ITG, Inc.
Hello,
I am Jon Schneider and I have the honor of serving as your STA Chairman for 2017. For those who don’t already know, STA is a grassroots, financial services industry group comprised of independent organizations, run by volunteers across North America. Over the past eight years I have had the pleasure of being a part of the STA board and have witnessed, like many of you, great change and evolution in our industry. My reasons for being involved are similar to those shared by the more than 250 individuals who serve on STA affiliate boards every year; a passion to be involved and a desire to be proactive, instead of reacting to the changes that are occurring in our industry.
Our market structure today is the result of efforts by many participants as well as interpretations and comments on various regulatory decisions. The diversity of market participants is reflected in the makeup of STA and therefore as an organization we remain well positioned to provide thought leadership as issues are debated. STA finds its strength in the respect we give to our history, guiding principles and values. Some of which include that changes to market structure need to protect investors, be based on empirical data and improve the market’s overall operational soundness. We do not focus solely on any one business model.

An SEC Chairman like Jay Clayton
written by Jim Toes, STA
|
|
There are few more important or influential roles in the financial markets than that of U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman. The person who assumes this responsibility is charged with fulfilling the SEC's mission to protect the interests of investors, ensure fair and orderly markets, and facilitate capital formation. This mission statement carries with it a certain degree of diversity and as such, requires distinct skill sets in ensuring its success. Finding a Chairman with expertise in all three is extremely difficult, if not impossible, in today's complex financial system and markets.
