Ms. Elizabeth Murphy
Secretary, Securities & Exchange Commission
I am writing in opposition to the SEC's proposal to allow broker/dealers the ability to set their own commissions in the sale of mutual funds to their clients. The effect of this proposal would be disastrous to middle-income investors by ultimately depriving them of professional advice, while keeping this level of advice available for those who can afford assets-under-management arrangements.
Please re-think your proposal. Thank you.
