Jamie Selway is the Director of the SEC’s Division of Trading and Markets (appointed June 2025). Keith Cassidy is the Acting Director of the SEC’s Division of Examinations. Both are senior SEC division directors credited as authors of the January 23, 2026 joint statement.
The Division of Trading and Markets (T&M) develops and implements SEC policy on U.S. market structure and trading practices, oversees national securities exchanges, alternative trading systems, broker-dealers and clearing agencies, and advises on rules to ensure fair, orderly, and efficient markets.
The Division of Examinations (Exams) conducts inspections and examinations of SEC-registered broker-dealers, investment advisers, transfer agents, and clearing agencies to assess compliance with securities laws and SEC rules, identify risks, and inform enforcement and rulemaking.
The phrase appears in the title of a joint SEC statement by Selway and Cassidy; publicly available metadata does not state whether it was issued in direct response to a specific prior report or claim. The SEC posting itself would be the authoritative source to confirm if it references or replies to a prior item; that text is on the SEC newsroom link for the statement.
