Bentsen Jr., speaking at the SIFMA Tech 2014 conference in New York, pointed to the potentially onerous demands of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Inc.'s proposed Comprehensive Automated Risk Data System. “Policy makers and regulators must consider that these additional new rules … will have to be absorbed by the firms and ultimately their customers through additional costs or reduced services and choice,” Mr. Bentsen said.
