MFA statement on SEC efforts to expand investor access to alternative

Washington, D.C. — MFA issued the following statement in response to today’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) open meeting, where the Commission advanced reforms to expand investor access to alternative investments:
“More people should have the opportunity to invest in alternative strategies to better diversify their portfolios, manage risk, and generate long-term returns. Many of the rules governing who can access alternatives and how those investments can be offered have not kept pace with markets. We commend the SEC for modernizing outdated rules to enable more Americans to access alternatives with appropriate investor safeguards.” — Bryan Corbett, MFA President and CEO
