Regulator is making changes to the initial model to ease the transition for certain sectors
Higher fees secure funding needed for effective market oversight and investor protection, commission says
The SRO has made significant progress in achieving the priorities laid out in our three-year strategic plan
The proposed fee changes will be used to fund increased enforcement and meet growing regulatory obligations
Higher revenues and lower cost will produce a surplus for the regulator in fiscal 2018
The current approach to calculating a minimum fee is unnecessarily complex
The SRO recorded a surplus of $6.6 million in fiscal 2017, according to the latest annual report
For firms regulated under securities law, among others, fees are going up by 0.74%
The new model won’t push fees up as much as initially expected
Annual fees would rise for registered firms and reps
