Misery Loves [Investment] Company?: Remarks At The 2026 Investment Company Institute Investment Management Conference, SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, Palm Desert, CA, March 24, 2026

Before I continue, I must remind you that my views are my own as a Commissioner and not necessarily those of the Commission or my fellow Commissioners.

I made my first speech as a Commissioner at this conference in 2018. Being back eight years later as my tenure on the Commission draws to a close is a nice bookend. As I reminisced in 2018, I first joined the Commission as a staff member in the Division of Investment Management, so these issues are near and dear to my heart.
