The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently announced that it has filled four vacancies on its Investor Advisory Committee. Three new members will serve four-year terms. The fourth will serve as the designated representative in the interests of senior citizens.
“I thank each of the new members for their willingness to serve on the Investor Advisory Committee,” SEC Chairman Paul Atkins said. “Their perspectives and expertise will be vital to the committee’s work and I look forward to their contributions to the public dialogue on the important issues facing investors.”
The newest members are Patrick Daugherty, a partner at the Foley & Lardner law firm; Sheldon Ray Jr., former Raymond James & Associates senior vice president, investments, portfolio manager; and Adriana Robertson, University of Chicago Law School professor of business law. John Liu will serve as the representative in the interests of senior citizens. He is a senior citizen investor and former Accenture managing director and Agile Partners co-founder.
The new members join nine current committee members. The committee advises the commission on regulatory priorities and initiatives to protect investors and promote the integrity of the U.S. securities markets.
The SEC expects to issue an announcement seeking additional candidates to serve as members in late 2026 or early 2027.
