SEC Extends Time for Comment on Climate, Private Fund Proposals

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is extending the comment period for three major proposals, giving Wall Street firms and industry groups more time to respond to the agency’s plans for climate-change disclosures and rules for private funds.
