Ruined In A Conventional Way: Responses To Credit Ratings' Role In Credit Crises, David J. Matthews Jan 2009

Ruined In A Conventional Way: Responses To Credit Ratings' Role In Credit Crises, David J. Matthews

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

In 2007, abuses in the U.S. mortgage industry precipitated a financial crisis that led regulators in the United States and in the European Union to reexamine credit rating agencies. Asset-backed securities bearing agency ratings helped spread the effects of the crisis to diverse institutional investors, including European banks. This article traces debt securities and ratings from the rise of the mortgage securitization industry to the European and U.S. responses following the 2007 meltdown and concludes that ratings-focused regulatory changes are only a first step in avoiding similar financial crises. The market incentives, risk misperception, and risk spreading that attend complex …

Coming Together After The Crisis: Global Convergence Of Private Equity And Hedge Funds, Houman B. Shadab Jan 2009

Coming Together After The Crisis: Global Convergence Of Private Equity And Hedge Funds, Houman B. Shadab

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

Two of the most significant types of alternative investment funds worldwide are hedge funds and private equity funds. A hedge fund typically engages in short-term trading of financial instruments and compensates its manager on an annual or quarterly basis. A private equity fund typically takes long-term management positions in companies and compensates the fund manager once every several years upon the sale of the fund's assets. Although primarily centered in the United States and Europe, numerous markets worldwide are home to each type of fund. Prior to the subprime mortgage-initiated financial crisis, there was a trend within the alternative investment …


Sophistry, Situational Ethics, And The Taxation Of The Carried Interest, Darryll K. Jones Jan 2009

Sophistry, Situational Ethics, And The Taxation Of The Carried Interest, Darryll K. Jones

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

This Article is, in essence, a strident expression of indignation about what a majority of tax scholars and, indeed, legislators consider a glaring yet persistent inequity in the tax code. In short, sometimes extraordinarily well-paid fund managers receive compensation taxed at capital gains rates. All other, usually very much lower-compensated, service providers are taxed at ordinary rates. The result is clearly regressive and yet, as of late, even some respected and knowledgeable scholars-though still in the minority-have unabashedly set forth sophisticated-sounding justifications. Objections based on unfairness, real, or even merely perceived, are difficult to express without a tone of indignation, …
