“We are excited that the new members will bring their valued perspectives and experiences to the Investor Advisory Committee. I thank each of them for their willingness to serve,” said SEC Chairman Paul S. Atkins. “We look forward to the Committee’s significant contributions to the public dialogue on the important issues facing investors.”
The newest members of the Investor Advisory Committee are:
- C. Rodney Comegys, Global Head of Equity Investment Group at Vanguard
- James R. Copland, Senior Fellow and Director, Legal Policy at Manhattan Institute
- John A. Gulliver, Executive Director, Committee on Capital Markets Regulations and Program on International Financial Systems
- Sergio G. Rodriguera Jr., Co-Founder, Straylight Systems, Inc.
The Commission appreciates all the candidates who expressed an interest in serving as a member in response to the invitation of interest announced earlier this year and expects that a similar announcement seeking another slate of candidates to serve as members will be issued in 2026.
