Former SEC Chair Arthur Levitt slams SEC retail access proposal for private markets

  • —Levitt says the proposal omits unified rules on fees, liquidity and valuation
  • —Retail investors could be placed in higher-fee share classes
  • —He urges third-party valuation of assets used to calculate performance fees
  • —He wants prospectuses to chart how fees erode investment returns
Why it matters: The rules will shape how retail investors access private markets and how much they pay for it.
