Center for Capital Markets Competitiveness
We break down barriers and shape policy that finances growth.
The Center for Capital Markets Competitiveness’ (CCMC) mission is to advance America’s global leadership in capital formation by supporting diverse capital markets that are the most fair, transparent, efficient, and innovative in the world.
CCMC advocates on behalf of American businesses to ensure that legislation and regulation strengthen our capital markets allowing businesses—from the local flower shop to a multinational manufacturer—to mitigate risks, manage liquidity, access credit, and raise capital.

America Needs Flexible, Market‑Driven Retirement Options
The American economy and investors benefit when public and private capital markets are strong. The Chamber supports reinvigorating public markets. We also support appropriately expanding access to private investment opportunities. Both will allow Americans to be part of U.S. financial growth and innovation while also helping U.S. companies to grow and create jobs. Recognizing that there is a wide range of public and private market investment options, the Chamber stands ready to work with the Department of Labor (DOL), the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and Congress to responsibly expand pathways for American investors to diversify and grow their retirement and investment portfolios.
