This week, AIMA Chair Karl Wachter, CEO Jack Inglis and Deputy CEO Jiri Krol sat down with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Paul Atkins and Commissioner Mark Uyeda as part of a series of high-level engagements with senior US regulators, government officials, and policymakers.

These meetings followed AIMA’s recent letter to Chair Atkins, which outlined a series of targeted recommendations to help create efficient, well-functioning capital markets while promoting responsible innovation.

Commenting on the meeting, Jack Inglis, CEO of AIMA, the world's largest membership association for alternative investment managers, said: "Under Chair Atkins’ leadership, we are seeing a hugely welcome shift towards a more growth-oriented regulatory approach. This presents a real opportunity to deepen AIMA's collaboration with the SEC in support of well-functioning capital markets. Alternative investments—including hedge funds, private credit, and digital assets—play a key role in delivering meaningful outcomes for both investors and the real economy. We look forward to working with the agency’s leadership to support continued innovation, investor access, and resilience across the financial system.”

As the global voice of the alternative investment industry, AIMA remains committed to engaging constructively with regulators worldwide to promote smart regulation, innovation, and market integrity.
