ACG Applauds House Committee's Strong Bipartisan Support for The Investment Advisers Modernization Act of 2016

CHICAGO, June 16, 2016 –-The following is a statement from Gary A. LaBranche, President & CEO for the Association for Corporate Growth®, the global organization representing 90,000 deal-making professionals who drive middle-market growth and create jobs across the country, regarding the House Financial Services Committee’s bipartisan approval to advance H.R. 5424, the Investment Advisers Modernization Act of 2016.

"This bipartisan legislation is critical for investors who provide billions of dollars every year to Main Street businesses and employ more than 15 million Americans. The bill’s thoughtful and modest reforms maintain important investor protections while modernizing the regulatory framework for advisers."

"On behalf of the 90,000 middle-market professionals who helped to invest $369 billion in the middle market last year, we applaud members of the House Financial Services Committee and their efforts to advance this critical legislation to the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives."
