The Future of Financial Intermediation
| Date: | Friday, March 27, 2015 |
| Time: | 8:30 AM - 3:30 PM |
| Description: |
Just as disintermediation is remaking the way goods and services are sold (think eBay, Craigslist, Airbnb), we seem to be heading toward greater disintermediation in financial markets. In capital formation, newcomers such as crowdfunding and peer-to-peer lending are obvious examples. In corporate structures, conglomerates and combined firms have increasingly been displacing intermediated equity markets. But there are counter-currents: financial intermediaries (like mutual funds, hedge funds, and sovereign wealth funds) continue to grow and dig in. The symposium will explore the future of financial intermediation. What role does (and can) law play in shaping and responding to that future? What adaptations are appropriate for traditional securities disclosure and oversight regimes? How do decentralized structures affect rules on internal controls or the laws governing corporate groups? How do these changes affect the long-term and short-term thinking of investors and managers? |
