Gary Gensler’s recent speech at the Annual Institute on Securities Regulation event indicates that he may expect to be out of office soon. This follows a pattern of SEC Chairs resigning following a change in administration.

With Trump pledging to remove Gensler on day one, it's likely that the SEC chair may resign before Trump assumes office.

In what sounded awfully close to a farewell speech, Gensler made only passing reference to his most controversial disclosure rule, on climate change.
