On 16 September 2025, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (US SEC) announced the appointment of four new members to its Investor Advisory Committee. The Committee, established under Section 39 of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, provides recommendations on regulatory priorities, investor protection, and market integrity. The new members will each serve a four-year term, joining the existing sixteen members. The appointments follow an invitation for interest announced earlier in 2025, and the United States SEC confirmed that another call for candidates is expected in 2026.

- C. Rodney Comegys, Global Head of Equity Investment Group, Vanguard.
- James R. Copland, Senior Fellow and Director of Legal Policy, Manhattan Institute.

United States SEC Chairman Paul S. Atkins stated: “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.”
