The main goal of this study is to analyze a sample of self-underwritten Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) where the going public process is conducted without the participation of any investment bank or underwriter at all. We test the hypothesis that the major incentive to self-underwrite is to maximize the proceeds from the IPO.The firms in this study are considered self-underwritten if and only if they explicitly describe their own IPO as such in the registration statement and the prospectus. This definition is completely new, since most previous academic papers have considered as those where the issuer is an investment bank that also participates in its own IPO. The main conclusion of this study is that there are no significant differences on the level of underpri...
Enron's collapse focused attention on its application of its Code of Ethics to related-party transactions. That focus produced section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which attempts to regulate conflicts of interest between officers and their companies through codes of ethics that public companies adopt.

In recent years there has been dramatic growth in the hedge fund industry, accompanied by an equally sizable increase in the public notoriety of such funds. Hedge funds currently control a substantial portion of trading in many financial markets and are subject to less federal regulation than nearly any other type of financial entity or institution. The US Securities and Exchange commission (SEC) recently made cases involving insider trading within hedge funds a priority, a change that can be attributed to the perception that there is widespread insider trading in these funds. This note illustrates why the structure of hedge funds makes them prone to instances of insider trading and why the SEC struggles to deal with this problem. Hedge funds are structured to avoid tax consequences and...
