  • There’s Got To Be A Better Way: Statement Of Dissent Regarding Wayzata Investment Partners LLC, SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, April 15, 2024

    Date 15/04/2024

    Today the Commission instituted and settled an administrative proceeding under the investment adviser pay-to-play rule. The facts here are similar to those of other pay-to-play cases: In April 2022, a covered associate of an investment adviser made a campaign contribution to a candidate for elected office. The office the candidate sought had influence over selecting investment advisers for a state investment board. The Commission’s order, however, does not allege any link between the donation and the investments. In fact, the state investment board had invested in closed-end funds advised by Respondent several years prior to the contribution. Respondent’s violation stems not from any attempt to obtain additional investments from the state investment board, but from the fact that it continued to provide advisory services for compensation in connection with the board’s longstanding closed-end fund investments. This case is yet another illustration of the overbreadth of the pay-to-play rule and another reminder of the way the rule hampers legitimate political participation. Accordingly, I did not support the case.

  • ISDA derivatiViews: Capital For Clearing Must Be Risk Appropriate

    Date 15/04/2024

    Our analysis of the US capital proposals paints a very clear picture – the rules would dramatically increase capital requirements for derivatives, which will impact the ability of US banks to provide intermediary and risk management services. The consequences are particularly stark for the provision of access to central clearing, an activity that is widely seen as risk reducing yet faces an eye-watering capital increase because of the proposals.
