SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: James Park on The Valuation Treadmill: How Securities Fraud Threatens the Integrity of Public Companies
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lunchtime talk with UCLA Law professor James Park\, author of the forthcoming book The Valuation Treadmill: How Securities Fraud Threatens the Integrity of Public Companies\, who will discuss the history of securities fraud regulation from the 1960s until the present. \nPublic companies now face constant pressure to meet investor expectations. The typical public company must continually deliver strong short-term performance every quarter to maintain its stock price. This valuation treadmill creates incentives for corporations to deceive investors. Published 20 years after the passage of Sarbanes-Oxley\, which requires all public companies to invest in measures to ensure the accuracy of their disclosures\, The Valuation Treadmill shows how securities fraud became a major regulatory concern. Drawing on case studies of paradigmatic securities enforcement actions involving Xerox\, Penn Central\, Apple\, Enron\, Citigroup\, and General Electric\, the book argues that corporate securities fraud emerged as investors increasingly valued companies based on their future performance. Corporations now have an incentive to issue unrealistically optimistic disclosure to convince markets that their success will continue. Securities regulation must do more to protect the integrity of public companies from the pressure of the valuation treadmill. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks: Sris Chatterjee\, chair\, Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis \n12:03 p.m.: Speaker Introduction: David Cowen\, president and CEO\, Museum of American Finance \n12:08: p.m.: Presentation: James Park \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: David Cowen \nAbout the Speaker\nJames Park is a professor of law at UCLA School of Law\, where he teaches securities regulation. Before becoming a law professor\, he worked as an assistant attorney general in the Investor Protection Bureau of the New York Attorney General’s Office. He is a graduate of Yale Law School and Miami University (Ohio). \nCopies of The Valuation Treadmill will be raffled off to attendees. \nThis event is co-sponsored with the CFA Society New York\, the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis\, and the Museum of American Finance.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Bruce Usher on Investing in the Era of Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:A climate catastrophe can be avoided\, but only with rapid and sustained investment in companies and projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. To the surprise of many\, this has already begun. Investors are abandoning fossil-fuel companies and other polluting industries and financing businesses offering climate solutions. Rising risks\, evolving social norms\, government policies\, and technological innovation are all accelerating this movement of capital. \nBruce Usher offers an indispensable guide to the risks and opportunities for investors as the world faces climate change. He explores the role that investment plays in reducing emissions to net zero by 2050\, detailing how to finance the winners and avoid the losers in a transforming global economy. Usher argues that careful examination of climate solutions will offer investors a new and necessary lens on the future for their own financial benefit and for the greater good. Companies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions will create great wealth\, and\, more importantly\, they will provide a lifeline for humanity. \nGrounded in academic and industry research\, Usher’s insights bring clarity to a complex and controversial topic while illuminating the people behind the numbers. This book sets out a practical and actionable plan for investors to alter the course of climate change. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks: James Kelly\, director\, Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis \n12:03 p.m.: Speaker Introduction: David Cowen\, president and CEO\, Museum of American Finance \n12:08: p.m.: Presentation: Bruce Usher \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: David Cowen \nAbout the Speaker\nBruce Usher is professor of professional practice and the Elizabeth B. Strickler ’86 and Mark T. Gallogly ’86 Faculty Director of the Tamer Center for Social Enterprise at Columbia Business School\, where he teaches on the intersection of financial\, social\, and environmental issues. He was previously an entrepreneur and worked in financial services in New York and Tokyo. Usher is also the author of Renewable Energy: A Primer for the Twenty-First Century (Columbia\, 2019). \nCopies of Investing in the Era of Climate Change will be raffled off to attendees. \nThis event is co-sponsored with the CFA Society New York\, the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis\, and the Museum of American Finance.

SUMMARY:IPED Lecture Series 2022-2023: A More Just Economic System
DESCRIPTION:A growing chorus of economists and politicians is demanding a new paradigm to create a global economy for the common good. In his recent book Cathonomics\, Anthony M. Annett unites insights in economics with those from theology\, philosophy\, climate science\, and psychology\, exposing the failures of neoliberalism while offering us a new model rooted in the wisdom of Catholic social teaching and classical ethical traditions. Drawing from the work of Pope Leo XIII\, Pope Francis\, Thomas Aquinas\, and Aristotle\, Annett applies these teachings to discuss current economic challenges such as inequality\, unemployment and underemployment\, climate change\, and the roles of business and finance. \nAnnett is a Gabelli fellow at Fordham University and a senior adviser at the Sustainable Development Solutions Network. He has a Ph.D. in economics from Columbia University and spent two decades at the International Monetary Fund\, where he worked as a speechwriter to the managing director. He is also a member of the College of Fellows of the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology.
