Re: July 9 Roundtable on Emerging Markets
Dear Mr. Chairman:
I am writing in response to the May 4 “Statement Announcing SEC Staff Roundtable on Emerging Markets” soliciting “views on the risks of investing in emerging markets, including China.”
The Council of Institutional Investors (CII) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan association of U.S. public, corporate and union employee benefit funds, other employee benefit plans, state and local entities charged with investing public assets, and foundations and endowments with combined assets under management of approximately $4 trillion. Our member funds include major long-term shareowners with a duty to protect the retirement savings of millions of workers and their families, including public pension funds with more than 15 million participants—true “Main Street” investors through their pension funds. Our associate members include non-U.S. asset owners with about $4 trillion in assets, and a range of asset managers with more than $35 trillion in assets under management.
