Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Mary Jo White said Friday she is continuing to try to develop support among her fellow commissioners for a uniform fiduciary duty for registered investment advisors and broker-dealers in what is likely to be her last year at the helm of the regulator.

However, former Investment Adviser Association chief David Tittsworth said the SEC probably has too much on its plate to adopt a uniform best-interest standard this year for advisors and brokers.

The SEC’s leader said she is also trying to bring forward a workable program for third-party reviews to enhance the compliance of financial advisors.

Opening the Practising Law Institute’s annual two-day SEC Speaks conference in Washington, D.C., White predicted all of the 100 additional financial advisor examiners she plans to add will not be in place before the end of 2016. White is able to add the examiners as a result of additional funding Congress authorized and by shifting examiners to advisor from broker-dealer oversight.

While the agency awaits Congressional approval for replacements for departed commissioners Luis Aguilar and Daniel Gallagher, White said the SEC can carry on all its business with three commissioners, noting the agency has done it in the past.

A quorum of the five members is needed at an SEC meeting to approve rules so the lone Republican commissioner, Michael Piwowar, could effectively veto a rule he did not like by not showing up at a meeting.

Many SEC rules have been approved in recent years has been on a party-line vote.

Piwowar is a no show at SEC Speaks. An announcement was made he was away on business.

During her talk, Chair White said her 2016 priorities for the asset management industry include advancing proposals for transition planning and stress testing, finalizing rules for funds to monitor and manage derivatives, and finalizing liquidity-risk rules for open-end funds.

She said to fulfill its missions of investor protection, maintaining fair and orderly markets and facilitating capital formation, the SEC needs to go beyond disclosure with increased risks and more complex markets.
