   This proposal would result in a terrible loss of market transparency
   for individual investors like me. How could you even be considering
   reducing disclosures by large investors with the potential to move
   markets? Compliance costs to file a 13F are negligible to a $100
   million fund, which is the minimum size required to report.

   13F's are a critical source of information to market participants on
   the holdings of the largest investment managers that provide insight
   impacting my individual portfolios. They do not put funds at any
   disadvantage given the 45 day period that elapses before filing 13-F's
   after the end of each quarter. Instead, you are seeking to remove
   important information from individual investors and academics at a
   time when you should be seeking to improve transparency to protect
   individual investors.

   I strongly encourage you to keep the current rules intact and not
   adopt rules that reduce disclosures by key market participants.
