General Session: Why Washington Matters
A year since the sweeping Dodd-Frank bill was signed into law, the investment business has experienced global market gyrations in addition to transparency requirements, regulation and increased oversight. While many managers view Dodd-Frank as an increased cost of doing business, we may look back on it as an important and innovative change in the financial services industry. What is the report card for Dodd Frank in light of the recent market turmoil? What are the panelists’ predictions for the next 12 months?
