55. The most important court case you’ve never heard of

The US SEC is being accused of massive overreach in its attempts to set a legal precedent to expand its mandate to control the asset management industry. AIMA is acting as a friend of the court in several cases including the bizarre case of a student flipping penny stocks who the SEC wants to define as a securities dealer. The upcoming ruling will have far-reaching and long-term consequences for the entire asset management industry. In this episode, we explain the ‘what’ and ‘why’ of this under-reported issue.  Joining us to unpack the intricacies of what’s at stake for the alternative investment industry are Brian Richman, Associate Attorney at Gibson Dunn, and Suzan Rose, AIMA's Senior Advisor for Government and Regulatory Affairs.
