A Program Featuring The Honorable Troy A. Paredes Commissioner U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
Thursday, June 17, 2010 at 6:00PM The Lombardy Hotel in Washington.
Please join WAMM on Thursday, June 17, 2010 at the Lombardy Hotel, 2019 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW for a presentation by The Honorable Troy A. Paredes, Commissioner, Securities and Exchange Commission. Market developments over the last several years only serve to emphasize the vital mission and function of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The mission of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is to protect investors, maintain fair, orderly, and efficient markets, and facilitate capital formation. As our nation's securities exchanges mature into global for-profit competitors, there is even greater need for sound market regulation. We are honored to have Commissioner Paredes address us at this critical juncture and offer his insights about the markets, the Commission, the interaction between the Commission and the markets, and the emerging financial regulatory environment. Commissioner Paredes’s comments will undoubtedly deepen our understanding. Please note that Commissioner Paredes’s comments will be off-the-record. Commissioner Paredes was appointed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in 2008. Before joining the SEC, Commissioner Paredes was a tenured professor at Washington University School of Law in St. Louis, Missouri and also held a courtesy appointment at Washington University’s Olin Business School. Commissioner Paredes primarily taught and researched in the areas of securities regulation and corporate governance. During his tenure as a professor, Commissioner Paredes made presentations around the country on securities law and corporate governance, and he served as an expert on various legal matters. In addition, Commissioner Paredes has researched and written on numerous topics such as executive compensation; hedge funds; private placements; the allocation of control within firms among directors, officers, and shareholders; the psychology of corporate and regulatory decision making; behavioral finance; alternative methods of regulation and market-based approaches to corporate accountability and securities regulation; comparative corporate governance, including the development of corporate governance and securities law systems in emerging markets; and the law and business of commercializing innovation. Commissioner Paredes’s scholarly work, among other things, has advocated for rigorous cost-benefit analysis when regulating and emphasized the need for accessible and understandable disclosures that investors can use effectively. We look forward to seeing you on June 17. We would be appreciative if you could make your reservation, including your organizational title/affiliation, for this program by June 10, a week before the program.
