The Legal Regulation Of Hedge Funds In The United States Long-Term Capital Management Episode, Jong Cheol Park
The Legal Regulation Of Hedge Funds In The United States Long-Term Capital Management Episode, Jong Cheol Park
LLM Theses and Essays
Mutual funds and hedge funds are popular forms of investment in the United States and throughout the world. Mutual funds are regulated by securities' regulators in the United States. Hedge funds, however, are not regulated because of their operational flexibility in investment. U.S. regulators are concerned that if they regulate hedge funds, hedge funds will, along with their economic benefits, emigrate to offshore havens. However, if we consider the importance of the American financial markets in the world, this idea can be dismissed. Due to globalization in the capital markets, small events in the United States can have large effects …

A Normative Analysis Of New Financially Engineered Derivatives, Peter H. Huang
A Normative Analysis Of New Financially Engineered Derivatives, Peter H. Huang
Publications
This Article analyzes whether the introduction of new derivative assets makes a society better or worse off. Because trading such non-redundant derivatives produces new distributions of income across time and over possible future contingencies, individuals can utilize such financial instruments to hedge risks not possible before the introduction of these assets. Thus, it may seem that new derivatives unambiguously benefit society. In fact, introducing sufficiently many new derivatives completes asset markets. Asset markets are complete if trading on them can attain every possible payoff pattern of wealth across time and over possible future contingencies. The first fundamental theorem of welfare …

Understanding Lockups: Effects In Bankruptcy And The Market For Corporate Control, Kermit Roosevelt Iii

Existing scholarship has considered lockups in both areas. The analysis of lockups in the market for corporate control is fairly well developed. This article shows that it is importantly incomplete because it fails both to distinguish between ex ante …
