Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book examines the regulation of insider dealing in the developed jurisdictions, using three of the G7 countries as guides with the aim of knowing how they have regulated insider trading and what lessons can be learnt from their failures and achievements. It looks at regulatory regimes in the US, the UK and Japan in order to consider whether these regimes can be successfully transplanted to developing countries. In order to explore insider dealing in the developing world the book focuses on Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nation and second largest economy. This book examines in theoretical and empirical terms the law on insider trading away from the dogmatic approach of Western literature by presenting the subject from the prism of a developing jurisdiction in post-colonial Africa with a divergent cultural, historical, social, political and economic background. The author analyses what shape insider dealing takes in Nigeria, a predominantly illiterate society, and considers the groups involved. The books also explores how the concept of insider dealing regulation is understood amongst parties integral to its administration and enforcement such as lawyers, judges, stockbrokers, and ordinary investors. The legislation governing insider dealing regulation in Nigeria is critically examined to expose its strengths and weaknesses, and to see how foreign provisions and legislation have been incorporated. The book uses Nigerian experiences to consider its implications for other developing nations, arguing that regulatory regimes need to take into account the specific social, political, historical and economic factors of a particular locale rather than importing regulations wholesale from developed jurisdictions.

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject Law - Civil / Private, Trade, Anti Trust Law, Business Law, grade: A-, University of Auckland, course: Corporate Governance, language: English, abstract: Since the financial crisis in 2008 there is no doubt about the fact that the evolving financial markets are essential for economic growth, employment and prosperity. Those markets serve as financing means for the business world and consumers benefit from the availability of a wide range of financial products and the additional advantages that those markets entail (higher pensions and lower mortgage costs). However, if those financial markets want to continue to contribute both to economy and society, the promotion of a good, integer and transparent functioning of those markets is essential. The proper functioning of the financial markets is largely dependent on the confidence of investors in those markets. The fact that investors ‘must be placed on an equal footing’ is the underlying principle on which this confidence is based. Market participants must be assured to always have access to a minimum set of information before making their investment decisions. In this context, transparency plays an important role. The price of a financial instrument is always the result of the available financial information. And to have proper price formation, it is essential that all the stakeholders have equal access to the relevant information as much as possible. A lot of regulations have already been introduced in this area. Yet, the effectiveness of those regulations can be questioned. For example, directors can make use of certain non-public information to trade in securities. They abuse their superior knowledge and consequently other investors regard this as unfair trading. Due to those unfair practices, other potential investors will turn their back to the financial markets. Insider trading is likely to undermine the investors’ confidence in the market and may jeopardise the proper functioning of the market. Therefore insider trading should be prohibited. But in most cases, law enforcement authorities face difficulties in proving the offenses. Hence, insider trading is a social evil and remains difficult to combat. This research essay will compare the current legislation on insider trading in New Zealand, Australia and the EU.This research essay will compare the current legislation on insider trading in New Zealand, Australia and the EU. In the end, it will be clear that the fundamental differences between the three jurisdictions remain off.

Book excerpt: The regulation of insider trading prohibits insiders from using inside information in securities transactions, and the central goal of the regulator is to preclude non-public information from circulating in the stock markets. The goal of legislation against insider trading is the same as that of legislation against market manipulation, making certain the integrity of EU financial markets and so boosting investor confidence in those markets. Market manipulation and insider trading are interrelated and based on circulation of information, and so cyberspace & e-logistics of information could be the key to neutralising people from taking advantage of their privilege to govern information within a company. Insider trading moves prices because outsiders decode information from the trade itself. Insider trading increases capital costs for the reason that insider trading raises the cost to market-makers in a companys securities relative to other companies, decreasing the anticipated return to uninformed shareholders. Corporate insiders are clearly informed about their own firms. The insiders outperformance derives from either their analytical skill or the handling of superior information about their companies when trading. Insiders benefit from unexpected losses on top of gains and so have a perverse incentive to trigger the company to under-perform if insider trading is permitted. Securities are vital, not only as investment vehicles, but also as devices for corporate control. A peaceful European Revolution should bring forward European nations and the USE/European Federation, which can deal with insider trading, criminal law, and other political/economical components in a harmonious way while avoiding any conflict among the various jurisdictions taking place in the present EU.

Book excerpt: Insider dealing is rarely out of the news for long these days. At regular intervals, there are Press reports of unusual price movements or trading in the shares of companies which may or may not be doing well or be keen to acquire other companies or to avoid being taken over themselves. It is usually said that the matter is being investigated 'by the authorities' and that may be the last of it that is heard. But what happens and who may be involved? This book attempts to answer those and other related questions. Concentrating of the restatement of insider dealing law contained in the Criminal Justice Act 1993, it outlines the overall law and practice governing the regulation of the criminal office of insider dealing and of certain other 'securities' market offences in the UK. It places the relevant legislation into the context of securities law as a whole. The historical background is explained as is the way in which 'securities' business is effected in the 'City' and how it is presently regulated. It is therefore hoped that this book may be of use to legal and compliance practitioners, to regulators and also to those otherwise studying or teaching 'securities' law, whether at university or college or in respect of a relevant professional or securities industry examination.
