SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-62115; File No. 4-602]

 
Market Structure Roundtable

AGENCY: Securities and Exchange Commission.

ACTION: Notice of roundtable discussion; request for comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Securities and Exchange Commission will host a one-day 
roundtable to solicit the views of investors, issuers, exchanges, 
alternative trading systems, financial services firms, high frequency 
traders, and the academic community regarding the current securities 
market structure. The roundtable will focus on market structure 
performance, including the events of May 6, metrics for evaluating 
market structure performance, high frequency trading, and undisplayed 
liquidity.
    The roundtable discussion will be held in the auditorium of the 
Securities and Exchange Commission headquarters at 100 F Street, NE., 
in Washington, DC on June 2, 2010 from 9:30 a.m. to approximately 4:30 
p.m. The public is invited to observe the roundtable discussion. 
Seating will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. The 
roundtable discussion also will be available via webcast on the 
Commission's Web site at http://www.sec.gov.
    The roundtable will consist of a series of panels. Panelists will 
consider a range of market structure topics, such as the appropriate 
metrics for assessing the performance and fairness of the market 
structure, particularly in light of the extraordinary price volatility 
of May 6. Panelists also will analyze the tools and strategies of high 
frequency trading and the role of undisplayed liquidity in today's 
market structure.

DATES: The roundtable discussion will take place on June 2, 2010. The 
Commission will accept comments regarding issues addressed at the 
roundtable until June 23, 2010.
