The Securities and Exchange Commission proposes amendments to Regulation NMS to require broker-dealers to provide enhanced disclosures regarding the routing and execution of customer orders. For institutional orders, the rule would mandate specific reports upon customer request and public quarterly aggregated data, while retail order disclosures would be updated to detail payment for order flow and transaction fees. These changes aim to improve market transparency, help investors assess execution quality, and mitigate conflicts of interest in an increasingly complex trading environment.
