Description

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is issuing this Request for Information (RFI) and draft Solicitation for a study that will involve collecting, categorizing and analyzing empirical data regarding the marketing, sale, and delivery of financial products, accounts, programs and services offered to individual investors by broker-dealers and investment advisers. The purpose of this RFI is to solicit informal expressions of interest and comments on the draft Solicitation from potential contractors and other persons interested in the study who could help the SEC in formulating its requirements before putting out a final Solicitation. Certain entities are ineligible to be selected as Contractor, including: (a) any participant in the litigation against the SEC brought by the Financial Planning Association (FPA v.

Employees and associated persons of such entities also are ineligible. Nor shall prospective Contractors have expressed a firm public view on any issue to be addressed in the study or otherwise present a conflict of interest, and they would be required to submit any materials that may bear on that determination, including information relating to employment by or representation of any ineligible person within the past three years. Please refer to the draft Solicitation for details. Comments and expressions of interest should be forwarded in writing to Sandy Wright, Contracting Officer, via e-mail at wrights@sec.gov or via mail at U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, 6432 General Green Way, MS 0-20, Alexandria, VA 22312.
