Eric J. Pan Announces Departure from Investment Company Institute After Six-Year Tenure
The Investment Company Institute (ICI) has announced that Eric J. Pan, its president and CEO since 2020, will step down after six years of leadership marked by significant policy achievements and expanded global influence for the asset management industry. During his tenure, Pan led a strategic repositioning in 2021 to modernize ICI's operations and advocacy efforts. He oversaw key initiatives such as the Reimagining the 1940 Act project, which influenced regulatory changes at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Additionally, he launched Help U.S. Retire, a major grassroots campaign that generated over 25 million media impressions and thousands of letters to Congress in support of retirement savings. Pan also worked on expanding investment opportunities for American households by opposing policies that discourage investing and advocating for broader access to regulated funds. His leadership enhanced ICI's international presence and member services while promoting innovation and efficiency in financial markets.
