Unsponsored Adrs Falling Through The Cracks: Adapting A Domestic Securities Regime To A Global Marketplace, Sarah Dotzel
Unsponsored Adrs Falling Through The Cracks: Adapting A Domestic Securities Regime To A Global Marketplace, Sarah Dotzel
Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law
Investing in the securities market has become a commonplace activity for expert and amateur investors alike. As more and more companies transcend national boundaries with their business activities, investment in their securities becomes coveted by international investors. Since securities are regulated on a country-by-country basis, it is unclear which law applies when conflict arises. In an attempt to clarify one such situation, simplify the application of US securities laws, and respect the legal regimes of other nations, the Morrison decision created an unclear test which leaves investors in unsponsored American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), one of the most common international trading …
Greater Mutual Fund Transparency In India, Stephen P. Smith
Greater Mutual Fund Transparency In India, Stephen P. Smith
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
India has been one of the darlings among emerging market economies over the past decade. It has experienced dizzying economic growth that has lifted great numbers of Indians out of poverty and changed the economic outlook of much of its populace. For the first time, many Indians have excess funds to save or invest, and the Indian mutual fund industry has enjoyed an explosion in popularity as a result of this economic boom, particularly among first time mutual fund investors.
One of the most important mechanisms for investor protection in any capital market is the provision of information to investors …
The Estonian Securities Market Act: A Lesson For Former Republics Of The Soviet Union, John J.A. Burke
The Estonian Securities Market Act: A Lesson For Former Republics Of The Soviet Union, John J.A. Burke
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
This Article describes and analyzes the Estonian Securities Market Act; the only securities statute presently in effect in Estonia. Before examining the requirements of that law, the Article provides an overview of the development of a securities market in Estonia, including a description of the securities, exchanges, and professionals that comprise the contemporary market. After providing this context, the Article analyzes the Estonian Securities Market Act. The author concludes that Estonia should not adopt complex securities legislation, but rather should "sample" the laws of other states. This process will allow Estonia to tailor a comprehensive regulatory system to the particular …
French & Sec Securities Regulation: The Search For Transparency And Openness In Decisionmaking, Keith D. Nunes, Louis Vogel, Chris X. Linn, Peter C. Kostant
French & Sec Securities Regulation: The Search For Transparency And Openness In Decisionmaking, Keith D. Nunes, Louis Vogel, Chris X. Linn, Peter C. Kostant
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
In this Article, the authors retrace the history and development of France's securities markets. The authors find that the French markets have become dynamic and diverse in the wake of their modernization. In contrast to the passivity of the United States regulatory regime, the authors demonstrate that the role of French regulators is more aggressive and intrusive. The authors also note that, through directives seeking to coordinate the policies of member states, the European Economic Community serves as the world's leading securities regulator. The authors conclude that French securities laws have been successful in improving disclosure and market efficiency. But …
The European Community's Ucits Directive, Patrick J. Paul
The European Community's Ucits Directive, Patrick J. Paul
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
As the twenty-first century approaches, the world is undergoing massive change. Social, political, and economic barriers are being torn down; new alliances are forming, as are new barriers. Economic stability and supremacy have replaced military supremacy in the hierarchy of a nation's policy objectives. The European Community's move toward a single market exemplifies this policy shift.
This Note focuses on one element of these global changes--internationalization of the securities market. The Note begins with an overview of the international securities market and the reasons for its increased globalization. The Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act) that, in part, …
Foreign Securities Offerings In The United States: The Impact Of Sec Clearance Of Denationalized French Stock Issues, John T. Vogel
Foreign Securities Offerings In The United States: The Impact Of Sec Clearance Of Denationalized French Stock Issues, John T. Vogel
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
In response to the growing internationalization of financial markets and the internal deregulation of foreign national securities structures, the United States Government, through the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC or Commission), has entertained suggestions and has implemented measures to facilitate the flow of capital across United States borders. The world financial community has generally applauded these actions, but has nonetheless continued the call for more reform and liberalization of capital markets. The ideas behind the voices of reform have appeal: less federal regulation means more corporate access to international capital, more opportunities for investors, and a more efficient allocation of …
Secrecy And Blocking Laws: A Growing Problem As The Internationalization Of Securities Markets Continues, Rochelle G. Kauffman
Secrecy And Blocking Laws: A Growing Problem As The Internationalization Of Securities Markets Continues, Rochelle G. Kauffman
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
This Note examines the problems recently faced by the SEC in policing securities transactions effected by foreign financial institutions in jurisdictions with secrecy and blocking laws, and it proposes both a short-term solution and a long-term solution to the SEC's enforcement problems. Part II of the Note outlines the problems confronting the SEC, specifically addressing the growing internationalization of securities markets and the effects on United States markets. This section also examines the problems confronting the SEC as a result of secrecy and blocking laws, and it suggests that unless new enforcement procedures are developed, these problems will increase when …

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
The economic crisis in Mexico, which profoundly altered the financial and political course of that nation, has also had a significant impact on persons and corporations having business ties to Mexico. Foreign investors and businesses now are required to follow new Mexican rules that often differ dramatically from those previously in effect. The impact of the crisis has not been confined to changes in Mexican law. A substantial number of issues have arisen that will have significant bearing on United States and international law.
The Special Project discusses the changes in the legal environment following the crisis, with its focus …
Tokyo As An International Capital Market--Its Economic And Legal Aspects, Mitsuru Misawa
Tokyo As An International Capital Market--Its Economic And Legal Aspects, Mitsuru Misawa
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
The internationalization of the Japanese capital market began in 1955, but for a considerable length of time the market served only as a source of foreign capital needed to cover the deficits in the nation's balance of payments. It was not until after 1970, when the Japanese balance of payments showed a steady surplus, that the Japanese market could accommodate the issue and acquisition of foreign securities on a full-fledged scale, and that Tokyo could become a truly international capital market. This trend, however, proved to be short-lived, for the steep rise in the cost of oil imports has recently …

On April 4, 1969, the American Society of International Law (ASIL) and the Vanderbilt International Law Society held a Conference on Legal Problems of International Capital Formation. The Symposium appearing in this issue of the International directly results from this Conference.
Manuel F. Cohen, former Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, begins the Symposium with a brief overview of the development of international securities markets in Europe. Mark S. Massel then suggests the questions a businessman or lawyer should ask before making foreign investment. Lester Nurick shows how international organizations, especially the World Bank, join with private parties in …
Legal Problems Of International Capital Formation, Manuel F. Cohen
Legal Problems Of International Capital Formation, Manuel F. Cohen
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
In the past ten or fifteen years, a revolution has been going on in the financial and securities field. This phenomenon is only an aspect of a wider revolution which is occurring throughout our society. To understand these revolutions, one must understand not only the economic issues but also the national interests and prejudices that affect governmental action. For example, securities law is moving in a slightly different direction in Canada from that in the United States. This introduction sets forth what I sense is going on in Western Europe.
Unless the people whose savings the market wishes to tap …
International Security Markets, Robert L. Knauss
International Security Markets, Robert L. Knauss
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
I would like to concentrate on what we might call the international aspects of the European securities markets and, if nothing else, to define a couple of terms. What I want to do first is to look at the question of integration of capital markets, and what we mean by that term. Is it really easier for a French company to raise capital in Belgium than a company from the United States? Has there been any integration in the Common Market? Do foreign issuers raise capital on national securities markets in the currency of that market? I think we have …
