SEC’s Investor Advisory Committee Holds Meeting

The SEC’s Investor Advisory Committee held a meeting on June 4, 2026. In his opening remarks at the meeting, SEC Chairman Paul Atkins began by congratulating the new IAC members who were just appointed, including those on the IAC’s executive committee. Specifically, he commended them for providing their expertise to help the Commission in its mission to protect investors and strengthen the capital markets.

Mr. Atkins also briefly commented on the two panels that were held at the meeting. The first panel addressed the expansion of “retail access to private markets,” including strategies for improving investors’ understanding of topics such as redemption gates, valuation methods, and fee structures. The second panel discussed “the increasing concentration of voting power in passive investment vehicles and its effects on investor protection.”
