The Shadow Financial Regulatory Committee (SFRC) is a group of publicly
recognized independent experts on the financial services industry — including experts in
banking, insurance, and securities — who meet regularly to study and critique regulatory
policies affecting this sector of the economy. During closed sessions before the luncheon,
committee members will discuss a variety of current financial-regulation issues: an open
letter to the new presidential administration regarding financial issues moving forward
into 2013, Basel III implementation, the Volcker rule, government-sponsored enterprises,
the lifting of guarantees on noninterest-bearing transaction accounts, money market
mutual funds, and Securities and Exchange Commission disclosure issues. In a briefing
following the sessions, SFRC members will present the adopted policy statements and
answer related questions. For more information and to RSVP, please visit
