March 27, 2025 - via Wolters Kluwer - HMA is mentioned in a story about the recent Amicus brief HMA along with ASA and CII filed regarding CBOE and Nasdaq's attempt to refute the Regulation NMS changes to tick sizes. The story states that "Several interest groups representing institutional investors have filed an amicus brief in support of the SEC’s Regulation NMS amendments. The SEC stayed the amendments late last year to avoid market disruption while a challenge by Nasdaq and Cboe proceeded in the D.C. Circuit. The amicus brief filed in that case argues that investors wanted the amendments, that the SEC’s choice of tick size and access fee rates were appropriate, and that the Commission acted within its statutory authority (Brief of Healthy Markets Ass’n, et al. as Amici Curiae Supporting Respondent, Cboe Global Markets, Inc. v. SEC, No. 24-1350 (D.C.Cir. Mar. 25, 2025))."

"Amici are Healthy Markets Association (HMA), Council of Institutional Investors (CII), and American Securities Association (ASA). HMA represents pension systems including CalPERS, while ASA represents the interests of regional financial services firms. The three groups submitted multiple comment letters supporting the proposed amendments." (See Full Story)
