This book was released on 2007-11 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the strengths and weaknesses of securities regulatory systems worldwide with a view to a better understanding of common problems and areas of global concern. We found that a consistent theme emerges regarding the lack of ability of regulators to effectively enforce compliance with existing rules and regulation. In many countries, a combination of factors, including insufficient legal authority, a lack of resources, political will and skills, has undermined the regulator's capacity to effectively execute regulation. This weakness is more acute in areas of increased technical complexity such as standards for and supervision of the valuation of assets and risk management practices.

Download or read book When the Levees Break written by Karen Kunz and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2016-12-09 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stock markets. Whether you invest or not, the workings of the stock market almost certainly touch your life. Either through your retirement fund, your mutual fund or just because you work for a place that invests (or is invested in)—the reach of the securities markets is expanding, like an ever growing tidal wave. This book discusses what happens when that wave hits the shore. Specifically, this book argues that, given the mounting deluge from misplaced regulation, fast-paced technology, and dominant financial players, the current US regulatory structure is woefully inadequate to hold back the tide. Using vivid imagery and plain language, Karen Kunz and Jena Martin take the problems involved in regulating the complex world of securities head on. Examining everything from the rise of technology and the role of hedge funds to our bloated agency system, Kunz and Martin argue that the current structure is doomed to fail and, when it does, the consequences will be disastrous. Sending out a call to action, the authors also offer a bold vision for how to fix the mess we’ve made—not by tinkering around the edges—but instead by building a whole new structure, one that can withstand the next storm that is sure to come.
Download or read book The Anatomy of the Law Regulation and Economics of Securities and Financial Markets in the United States written by Massimiliano Caruso and published by Singulab. This book was released on 2023-09-11 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an attempt to provide a systematic, comprehensive, and in-depth examination of the theories, policies, and practicalities of securities and capital markets regulation. It analyzes the regulation of the process of raising capital in public offerings and private placements of securities, which is governed primarily by the Securities Act of 1933, and the regulation of trading and trading venues, which is governed by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. It also focuses on market manipulation and insider trading as well as on issues of market structure. As other books that I wrote, it is designed to be neutral, current, functional, concise and clear. I believe this book will challenge your preconceptions, broaden your horizons, and leave you with a greater appreciation of the complexity of the subject, for, among others, the following reasons: (i) Rather than advocating for one particular viewpoint, after carefully researching and analyzing a wide range of sources, including the surrounding context of the most important cases, I have taken a neutral approach to ensure that the information presented is unbiased and trustworthy, making it an ideal starting point for anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of the most disputed theories and views on the securities and capital markets regulation. (ii) The rise of crypto-assets offerings and decentralized finance, high-frequency trading, dark pools, and new sophisticated typologies of market manipulation and insider trading has brought new complexities and dramatic transformations, raises questions about market fairness, transparency, and accountability, and threatens to undermine the very foundations of securities and capital markets regulations. Crypto-assets and offerings of crypto-assets, in particular, have challenged and breathed new life into the importance of the Howey and Reves tests in assessing the nature of security (or non-security) of instruments, contracts, transactions and schemes. (iii) This book considers the economic principles that underpin the functioning of the capital market, including market efficiency, supply and demand dynamics, and pricing mechanisms, and in so doing allows a deeper understanding of the critical issues shaping the modern capital markets. It is in fact, to some extent, a mixture of law, public policy, and economics.
Download or read book Securities Regulation written by James D. Cox and published by Wolters Kluwer Law & Business. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The national reputation of the authors, their balance of practice and doctrine, and a highly teachable structure have all made Securities Regulation: Cases and Materials the best-selling text in the field. Applauded for excellent coverage of the 1934 and 1935 Acts, the text remains sophisticated yet not intimidating. Modular chapters adapt to a variety of teaching styles, giving the instructor flexibility in course design. Well-written, interesting problems expose students to theory as well as the practical issues that impact investors. Problems are short for ease of use in the classroom and allow instructors to pick and choose to suit their own classes. The authors publish both an annual statutory and a case supplement. The Seventh Edition pays close attention to the recently-enacted JOBS Act including the SEC's implementation rules. The new edition explores multiple impacts of the Dodd-Frank Act on the scope and content of securities regulations. An expanded description of various financial products pays particular heed to asset-backed securities and derivatives. The new meaning of "primary liability" under Rule 10b-5 after Janus Capital is introduced as are the ongoing developments in the nature and structure of securities markets (dark pools and the aftermath of the "flash crash.") Proxy regulation changes are discussed, asking the question, "Where does shareholder ballot access stand?" New note material appears on the D.C. Circuit's approach to interpreting "efficiency, competition and aggregation of capital" when considering challenges to SEC rule making. Post-Morrison developments in the extraterritorial application of law are included as well as the new strategies pursued in SEC enforcement. Features: national reputation of the authors balance of practice and doctrine experience lends highly teachable structure applauded for excellent coverage of the 1934 and 1935 Acts flexible organization for various teaching styles problem-oriented interesting problems reveal theory as well as practical issues impacting investors short problems for ease of use in the classroom allows instructors to pick-and-choose to suit their own classes readable, straightforward writing--sophisticated but not intimidating annual statutory and case supplement Thoroughly updated, the revised Seventh Edition presents: careful consideration of the recently-enacted JOBS Act, including SEC's implementing rules multiple impacts of the Dodd-Frank Act on the scope and content of securities regulations expanded description of financial products, particularly asset-backed securities and derivatives coverage of the new meaning of "primary liability" under Rule 10b-5 after Janus Capital developments in the nature and structure of securities markets, including dark pools and the aftermath of the "flash crash" proxy regulation changes new note material on D.C.

Download or read book The New Stock Market written by Merritt B. Fox and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-08 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. stock market has been transformed over the last twenty-five years. Once a market in which human beings traded at human speeds, it is now an electronic market pervaded by algorithmic trading, conducted at speeds nearing that of light. High-frequency traders participate in a large portion of all transactions, and a significant minority of all trade occurs on alternative trading systems known as “dark pools.” These developments have been widely criticized, but there is no consensus on the best regulatory response to these dramatic changes. The New Stock Market offers a comprehensive new look at how these markets work, how they fail, and how they should be regulated. Merritt B. Fox, Lawrence R. Glosten, and Gabriel V. Rauterberg describe stock markets’ institutions and regulatory architecture. They draw on the informational paradigm of microstructure economics to highlight the crucial role of information asymmetries and adverse selection in explaining market behavior, while examining a wide variety of developments in market practices and participants. The result is a compelling account of the stock market’s regulatory framework, fundamental institutions, and economic dynamics, combined with an assessment of its various controversies. The New Stock Market covers a wide range of issues including the practices of high-frequency traders, insider trading, manipulation, short selling, broker-dealer practices, and trading venue fees and rebates. The book illuminates both the existing regulatory structure of our equity trading markets and how we can improve it.

Download or read book Raising Capital on Arab Equity Markets written by Lu’ayy Minwer Al-Rimawi and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first book of its kind discusses in particular the role of investor protection as regards disclosure when issuers are offering securities to the public, with full descriptions of the securities markets and stock exchanges in seventeen Arab jurisdictions. In two interrelated parts it examines both the regional macroeconomic matrix and a detailed case study (that of Jordan) in order to analyse the development and characteristics of an Arab regulatory model. Among the important issues and topics arising in the course of the analysis are the following: relevance of international regulatory standards to Arab securities markets; mandatory versus voluntary securities disclosure; the fundamentals of the Islamic financial system, role of riba and gharar, nature and impact of Shari’a’s unquantifiable juridical risks on the modus operandi of Arab securities markets; macroeconomic adjustment policies and structural adjustment programmes in several Arab countries; recent economic and Arab capital markets impact in the wake of the ‘Arab Spring’; extent of different countries’ reliance on Shari’a as a constitutional source; constitutional challenges to the imposition of interest; the need for the positive law to compel securities disclosure under Shari’a; shareholders’ remedies when suing for fraud or negligent misstatements; liability for misleading or inaccurate disclosure (under the general law of the UK and a selected Arab jurisdiction); prospectus liability under the statutory regime of the UK and an Arab regulatory regime; bars to rescission of contract: Comparative UK and Shari'a aspects; and Arab, UK regulatory agencies' enforcement, prosecutorial, administrative and civil remedies. The author closely examines various instruments deployed for conveying securities disclosure and dissemination of information, and looks extensively at relevant rulings as enunciated by an Arab court of cassation. He then constructs a model of an effective securities disclosure regime in order to provide better investor protection for shareholders under Shari’a. 'Among the strengths of Dr Lu’ayy Minwer Al-Rimawi’s book is the fact that at all times he adopts a comparative approach, not only as between different Arab systems, but also with an appreciation of the legal position in the UK and the European Union and elsewhere’ [The Hon. Mr Justice Sir William Blair Q.C., High Court Judge in the UK and Chairman of the Qatar Financial Centre Regulatory Tribunal]. As the first in-depth discussion of the regulation of Arab capital markets in English, with an eye to international standards and the policy issues involved – and with attention focused on the central question of how the law can properly protect investors – this book will commend itself to all those with an interest in securities markets in the Arab world.

Download or read book Regulating Competition in Stock Markets written by Lawrence R. Klein and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-04-25 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guide to curbing monopoly power in stock markets Engaging and informative, Regulating Competition in Stock Markets skillfully analyzes the impact of the recent global financial crisis on health and happiness, and uses this opportunity to put regulatory systems in perspective. Happiness is lost because of emotional and physical health deterioration resulting from the crisis. Therefore, the authors conclude that financial crisis prevention should be the focus of public policy. This book is the most comprehensive study so far on potential risks to the stock market, especially various forms of market manipulation that lead to mania and eventual crisis. Based on litigation cases from international stock markets, and borrowing multidisciplinary findings in the fields of finance, economics, accounting, media studies, criminology, legal studies, psychology, and medicine, this book is the first to provide thorough micro-level regulatory proposals rooted in financial reality. By focusing on securities trading, they apply antitrust measures to limiting monopolistic power that is used for the manipulation of investors' perception and monopolistic profit. These proposals are quantifiable, adjustable, inexpensive, and can be easily implemented by any securities regulating agency for real-time oversight and daily operations. The recommendations found here are intended to improve the fairness and transparency of the financial markets, thereby perfecting the market competition, protecting investors, stabilizing the market, and preventing crises Explores how avoiding crises can to contribute to a more scientific, health aware, and civilized economic and social development Written by a team of authors who have extensive experience in this dynamic field, including Nobel Laureate Lawrence R. Klein Since the founding of the first, organized stock exchange in Amsterdam 400 years ago, no systematic economic research results on stock markets have been implemented in stock market regulation around the world. Regulating Competition in Stock Markets aims to fill this void.
