Book Synopsis Promoting Information in the Marketplace for Financial Services by : Paul Latimer
Download or read book Promoting Information in the Marketplace for Financial Services written by Paul Latimer and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-11-14 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a unique comparative and global analysis of the regulation of disclosure in financial (securities) markets. It is written by two authors who represent both the new world (Australia) and the old world (Germany). The authors present their research in the global business context, with legal and regulatory perspectives including some references from Africa, Asia, the Middle East and South America. After every “boom” and “bust”, legislators pass new disclosure legislation, often in a heated environment fuelled by politics and the media. Little regard is paid to existing regulation or the lessons learned from earlier regulation. The result is the continuing enactment of redundant and overlapping disclosure laws. Since financial markets are often described as markets for information, the failure to ensure disclosure is at the heart of financial services regulation. This book argues that the solution to the failure of disclosure is a brief, easily understood, principles-based, plain English safety-net amendment to statute law such as “you must keep the financial market fully informed”, a measure that would support effective mandatory continuous disclosure of information to financial markets. This book examines the reasons for disclosure regulation, and how the efficient operation of financial markets is dependent on disclosure. It examines the adequacy of common law and civil law concerning broker/client disclosure, and concludes that industry licensing in itself fails to keep the market informed. While recognizing the failures of securities commissions to achieve good disclosure in financial markets, it confirms the effectiveness of coregulation of disclosure by a commission with the support of the financial markets (such as the stock exchange). Coregulation builds on financial market self-regulation, and is best described in the words of one-time SEC Chairman William O. Douglas, who, in the 1930s, described it as a shotgun behind the door.

Book Synopsis Regulation of Prediction Markets Under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 by : Kelsey Farmer
Download or read book Regulation of Prediction Markets Under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 written by Kelsey Farmer and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 (FMC Act) represents the most substantial overhaul of New Zealand's securities law in recent history. The regulation of derivatives in particular featured high on the agenda as an area in need of reform and, as a result, the FMC Act is much more clear than the Securities Act 1978 and Securities Markets Act 1988 with respect to typical derivative agreements. The focus of this article, however, is on the atypical: the use of derivatives in prediction markets. This article examines whether New Zealand-based prediction market iPredict will be regulated under the FMC Act and, if so, how it will be regulated. The conclusion reached is that iPredict can operate under the FMC Act only if the Financial Markets Authority declares that its contracts are derivatives and grants substantial exemptions from regulatory compliance. This article then makes recommendations for a more coherent approach to the regulation of prediction markets by analogy with the new prescribed intermediary service licences under the FMC Act.
Book Synopsis Financial Market Regulation by : John A. Tatom
Download or read book Financial Market Regulation written by John A. Tatom and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-01-11 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What role should regulation play in financial markets? What have been the ramifications of financial regulation? To answer these and other questions regarding the efficacy of legislation on financial markets, this book examines the impact of the Gramm Leach Bliley Act (GLBA), also called the Financial Modernization Act of 1999, which fundamentally changed the financial landscape in the United States. The GLBA allows the formation of financial holding companies that can offer an integrated set of commercial banking, securities and insurance products. The tenth anniversary of the most sweeping financial legislation reform in the industry’s structure is a natural benchmark for assessing the effects of the law and for questioning whether changes are necessary in the working of this historic legislation. The importance of this review is reinforced by a variety of proposals in the last several years to reform the regulation of financial institutions that have attracted considerable attention among regulators and in the financial firms that they regulate. Most recently, the financial crisis and the failure of some large financial institutions have called into question the legitimacy of America’s current financial structure and its regulation, including to some degree the GLBA. There is no doubt that regulatory reform is front and center on today’s policy agenda. The lessons of the GLBA experience and its effects, both domestic and international, on financial markets and competitiveness, risk-taking and risk management by financial services firms and their regulators will be critical to the direction the country takes and the effort to ensure that future financial crises do not occur or have less costly damage. With contributions from academics, policy experts, and a sponsor of the GLBA, Congressman James Leach, this book is invaluable to anyone interested in financial system reform.

Book Synopsis Financial Markets in Hong Kong by : Douglas Arner
Download or read book Financial Markets in Hong Kong written by Douglas Arner and published by Oxford Legal Research Library. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the publication of the first edition in 2006, financial regulation around the world has changed dramatically as a result of the 2008 global financial crisis. As one of the world's leading financial centres, international regulatory reforms have had a significant impact on the legal and regulatory system in Hong Kong. This new second edition provides a comprehensive and authoritative single-volume guide to the main areas of financial regulation and financial law in Hong Kong. Given the massive changes in financial regulation globally and in Hong Kong, the second edition has been substantially rewritten and revised to address changes in markets and their legal and regulatory frameworks, as well as the implications of these changes to future market development. The book is in five parts: The first part considers the evolution of Hong Kong's role as a financial centre and the development of its financial regulatory structure, one that is perhaps unusually complex given the size of the jurisdiction. The second part discusses the regulation of the banking, securities, insurance sectors, including the regulatory powers of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong (SFC), the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance (OCI), and the forthcoming Independent Insurance Authority (IIA). The third part covers regulation of financial products and services, including securities offerings and listings, investment products and asset management, financial derivatives, and takeovers and mergers. The fourth part addresses market conduct and misconduct, including corporate governance, market abuse and financial crime. Finally, the fifth part examines the international context, focusing on the relationship between Hong Kong's financial markets and regulation and mainland China as well as key issues for Hong Kong's role as a major global financial centre.
Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of Financial Regulation by : Niamh Moloney
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Financial Regulation written by Niamh Moloney and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2015-08-27 with total page 817 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The financial system and its regulation have undergone exponential growth and dramatic reform over the last thirty years. This period has witnessed major developments in the nature and intensity of financial markets, as well as repeated cycles of regulatory reform and development, often linked to crisis conditions. The recent financial crisis has led to unparalleled interest in financial regulation from policymakers, economists, legal practitioners, and the academic community, and has prompted large-scale regulatory reform. The Oxford Handbook of Financial Regulation is the first comprehensive, authoritative, and state of the art account of the nature of financial regulation. Written by an international team of leading scholars in the field, it takes a contextual and comparative approach to examine scholarly, policy, and regulatory developments in the past three decades. The first three parts of the Handbook address the underpinning horizontal themes which arise in financial regulation: financial systems and regulation; the organization of financial system regulation, including regional examples from the EU and the US; and the delivery of outcomes and regulatory techniques. The final three Parts address the perennial objectives of financial regulation, widely regarded as the anchors of financial regulation internationally: financial stability, market efficiency, integrity, and transparency; and consumer protection. The Oxford Handbook of Financial Regulation is an invaluable resource for scholars and students of financial regulation, economists, policy-makers and regulators.

Book Synopsis Financial Markets Regulations by : Alain A. Ndedi
Download or read book Financial Markets Regulations written by Alain A. Ndedi and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether we want to buy a cell phone, rice or a bag of corn, baked cakes, a loaf of bread, whether we click our order, telephone the order, use the mail, or go to a retail store, the transactions, and indeed most economic transactions, are influenced by some form of market regulation. In 'market regulation', the word, "regulation," usually connotes some extra-market, even administrative, guidance of the market. We'll call this external regulation to distinguish it from regulation by competition. What is really regulation? The regulation refers to controlling human or societal behaviour by rules or restrictions. Regulation can take many forms: legal restrictions promulgated by a certain governing authority, social regulation like norms, and market regulation. One can consider regulation as actions of conduct imposing sanctions that may be sometime fines.

Book Synopsis Enforcing Financial Markets Law in New Zealand by : Philipp Maume
Download or read book Enforcing Financial Markets Law in New Zealand written by Philipp Maume and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus of this article is the enforcement powers of New Zealand's new financial markets conduct regulator, the Financial Markets Authority (FMA). The article traces a shift from an enforcement regime reliant on private enforcement towards a robust public enforcement regime, and considers some of the implications of that shift. In the process, an overview of the enforcement debate is provided. Taking a cue from the scholarship on responsive regulation and the concept of "enforcement pyramids", it compares the enforcement regime prior to the establishment of the FMA to the new framework. In particular, the article discusses the extended regime for enforceable undertakings, the FMA's power to commence or take over civil proceedings, the infringement notice regime, the licensing regimes for financial intermediaries, and civil and criminal liability under the upcoming Financial Markets Conduct Act. The article concludes that New Zealand has finally moved from a light touch regulatory approach towards an enforcement regime that should facilitate a responsive, proactive approach to regulation.
Book Synopsis The Shortfall in Financial Markets Regulation by : Anna Fraser
Download or read book The Shortfall in Financial Markets Regulation written by Anna Fraser and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Insider trading is an exceptionally challenging offence to define, prove, and enforce. New Zealand is a country especially vulnerable to this challenge, with no insider trading convictions since first regulating the offence in 1988. This paper investigates the reasons behind this, by comparing the structure of New Zealand's legislation and enforcement to the United States and the European Union. A reform of the Financial Markets Conduct Act is suggested, with four main areas identified to enhance the strictness of New Zealand's legislation. A novel approach to enforcement is also recommended, through the introduction of a rewards scheme for whistle-blowers to reduce the inherent difficulty of meeting the criminal standard of proof.
Book Synopsis The Cambridge Handbook of Twin Peaks Financial Regulation by : Andrew Godwin
Download or read book The Cambridge Handbook of Twin Peaks Financial Regulation written by Andrew Godwin and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-07-15 with total page 595 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First proposed in 1994, the Twin Peaks model of financial system regulation employs two specialist peak regulators: one charged with the maintenance of financial system stability, and the other with market conduct and consumer protection. This volume, with contributions from over thirty scholars and senior regulators, provides an in-depth analysis of the similarities and differences in the Twin Peaks regimes that have been adopted around the world. Chapters examine the strengths and weaknesses of the model, provide lessons from Australia (the first to adopt the model), and offer a comparative look at the potential suitability of the model in leading non-Twin Peaks jurisdictions. A key resource for central bankers, public policy analysts, lawyers, economists, politicians, academics and students, this work provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of the Twin Peaks model, and a roadmap for countries considering its adoption.
