Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Paul Atkins last week called for a “robust” economic analysis of SEC rules amid “ongoing changes in financial landscapes,” adding that previous agency leadership focused heavily on “regulatory expansion over meticulous economic analysis.”
Atkins, who was sworn in last month, said it was a “new day at the SEC” and crucial that the agency ensures “thorough and unbiased economic analysis is not being overshadowed by any driving desire to implement regulatory measures that impose unnecessary burdens on our markets.”
Atkins “may revisit the economic basis of already-adopted rules, slow or halt pending rulemakings that lack robust economic justification or use cost-benefit analysis to reframe existing proposals,” Cynthia Kelly, a managing director for compliance at STP Investments, said in an email.
Atkins is also expected to create a regulatory framework around crypto and tokenization, artificial intelligence, and the expansion of alternatives into the retail channel, she added.

Co-investing has long been considered a niche strategy in private markets, but that perception is rapidly changing. Shifting market dynamics, rising valuations, and increasing investor demand are positioning co-investments as a key strategy for fund managers and LPs in 2025 and beyond.
This shift is already evident in investor allocations. Goldman Sachs’ 2024 Private Market Diagnostic Survey found that 50% of LPs now allocate to co-investments, up from previous years. The trend also appears to be on the rise among GPs in the year ahead.

Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Paul Atkins said Monday he is directing the agency to reconsider two decade-old rules that prohibit retail investors from tapping into closed-end funds, such as interval funds and business development companies.
Atkins said the SEC will reexamine a 23-year-old practice in which closed-end funds that allocate 15% or more to alternatives require $25,000 initial investment minimums and are open only to accredited investors.
