Retirement Security Must Be a Priority for SEC Chair Nominee Paul Atkins

Secure Retirement
SEC

Paul Atkins is advancing from the Senate Banking Committee and awaiting full Senate confirmation to be the next Chair of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission SEC. This isn’t just another appointment—it’s a critical moment for the future of retirement security in America.

Investment funds like mutual funds and ETFs help millions of Americans save for their future. We need to ensure access to these funds is protected! These funds aren’t just for retirement—they fund college tuition, down payments on first homes, and help provide the peace of mind that comes with a well-planned financial future. That’s why we need to ensure that policies coming out of Washington support long-term investing and financial stability.

The SEC plays a powerful role in shaping the regulatory environment for these funds, which directly impacts how people can invest their retirement nest egg. 

As the Senate evaluates Paul Atkins’ nomination, Senators must ask the right questions:

  • How will he support policies that strengthen retirement savings opportunities?
  • How will he push back against regulations that make it harder for Americans to invest?
  • How will he ensure that everyday investors, not just institutional players, have a fair shot at financial security?

Americans don’t need more roadblocks when it comes to saving for their future. They need policies that encourage growth, stability, and long-term financial wellbeing. This is something that Mr. Atkins understands. 

Now let’s make it clear: Contact your Senator today and remind them that Paul Atkins is committed to protecting and strengthening the mutual funds and ETFs that everyday Americans rely on to access the retirement system.

Together, we can ensure that more Americans achieve their financial goals with confidence, free from unnecessary barriers or financial risks. Your voice matters—let’s make sure Washington hears it loud and clear.
