Policy Positions

Citadel believes that fair, open, competitive, and transparent markets best serve the needs of all participants.

Investment Adviser Regulation

Citadel believes that investors play an essential and beneficial role in financial markets, engaging in fundamental research and enhancing price discovery and market efficiency. Citadel supports thoughtful regulatory oversight of investment advisers that recognizes the critical role active managers play identifying both under-valued and over-valued assets. By contrast, policies that compromise active managers’ ability to implement their investment theses will cause prices to deviate from their fundamental value and capital to be misallocated, to the detriment of all investors and the broader economy.

U.S. Treasuries

Citadel supports efforts to modernize the regulatory framework for the US Treasury markets, including the introduction of real-time public reporting, the registration of multilateral trading venues, non-discriminatory access to trading venues, and the expansion of repo clearing. Consistent with our longstanding commitment to more fair and efficient markets, we believe these changes will enhance transparency and resiliency in the US Treasury market and provide Treasury market participants with greater choice among trading venues and counterparties.
