To the and Exchange Commission,

When you go to a financial adviser for advise, it is expected that
person to put the client's needs over their wallet.  What the 2008
financial crash taught us is that individuals are willing to destroy
their own companies for financial gain.  We need legislation that will
protect the individual investor trying to retire with dignity.

Hidden fees and loopholes make individual investors a target for unfair
practices.  Americans deserve legislation that will make brokers and
bankers accountable and not richer at the expense of everyday
Americans.

Sincerely,

Ms. Stephanie Hagiwara
