The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) today announced that Natasha Vij Greiner, director of the agency’s Division of Investment Management, will step down effective July 4.
The Division of Investment Management is primarily responsible for administering the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, which oversees investment companies including mutual funds, closed-end funds, business development companies, unit investment trusts, variable insurance products, and exchange-traded funds, along with investment advisors.
Greiner, who has worked in public service for over 23 years, was named director of the division in March 2024, and prior to that, served as deputy director of the Division of Examinations and as the national associate director of the Investment Advisor/Investment Company examination program. Greiner also acted as the associate director of the Home Office IA/IC examination program in the past and began her career in the SEC working for the Division of Examinations as a broker-dealer examiner.
“Natasha’s steadfast leadership and strong judgment have been invaluable assets to the SEC throughout her long and distinguished career,” said SEC Chairman Paul S. Atkins in a statement. “I am grateful for her strategic counsel since I’ve become Chairman. Her unwavering commitment to the agency’s mission and her ability to navigate complex regulatory landscapes with clarity will have a lasting effect.”
Greiner received her juris doctor degree from The Catholic University of America, Columbus School of Law and her bachelor’s degree from James Madison University.
“As I reflect on my 23 years at the SEC, I am filled with gratitude for the incredible journey across the divisions of Investment Management, Enforcement, Examinations, and Trading and Markets,” added Greiner. “It has been an extraordinary privilege to serve in various capacities at the SEC, culminating as Director of the Division of Investment Management. Throughout my tenure, I have witnessed firsthand the dedication and integrity of the staff that define this remarkable agency.”
