SIFMA INVESTOR SURVEY SUPPORTS E-DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS
The results of a SIFMA commissioned survey released August 3, 2022 demonstrates that most American retail investors prefer e-delivery of documents rather than receiving them through the postal service. The SEC currently requires documents such as prospectuses, account statements and trade confirmations to be delivered by mail whereas 85% of investors are comfortable with e-delivery of investor documents provided there is an opt-in for paper delivery. Benefits of e-delivery include faster delivery and ease of access in different formats, resulting in more productive investor engagements. In addition, almost 80% of survey respondents also noted the environmental benefits of e-delivery. More information is available here.
