SEC to fill five Investor Advisory Committee seats

On Tuesday, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced that it is looking for five candidates to fill appointments to the Investor Advisory Committee.

The Committee, which helps to protect investors and improve securities regulations, was established under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. It’s role is to advise the SEC on regulatory priorities, issues relating to the regulation of securities products, trading strategies, fee structures and the effectiveness of disclosure, and initiatives to protect investor interests as well as those that promote investor confidence and integrity in the securities marketplace. Candidates should be knowledgeable about investment issues and have reputations for integrity.

“The Investor Advisory Committee and its diverse and talented members are key to ensuring a wide array of investor perspectives are represented in SEC policymaking,” said SEC Chairman Gary Gensler. “I look forward to working with the members of the Investor Advisory Committee to continue to uphold the SEC’s mission of providing transparent and fair markets for all investors.”

Those interested in serving on the Committee should email a letter of interest with applicable information about their relevant experience. The deadline for submitting candidate information is April 26, 2024.
