  • The Corporate Governance Lessons from the Financial Crisis
    ISSN 1995-2864 Financial Market Trends © OECD 2009 Pre-publication version for Vol. 2009/1 The Corporate Governance Lessons from the Financial Crisis Grant Kirkpatrick * This report analyses the impact of failures and weaknesses in corporate governance on the financial crisis, including risk management systems and executive salaries. It concludes that the financial crisis can be to an important extent attributed to failures and weaknesses in corporate governance arrangements which did not serve their purpose to safeguard against excessive risk taking in a number of financial services companies. Accounting standards and regulatory requirements have also proved insufficient in some areas. Last but not least, remuneration systems have in a number of cases not been closely related to the strategy and risk appetite of the company and its longer term interests. The article also suggests that the importance of qualified board oversight and robust risk management is not limited to financial institutions. The remuneration of boards and senior management also remains a highly controversial issue in many OECD countries. The current turmoil suggests a need for the OECD to re-examine the adequacy of its corporate governance principles in these key areas. * This report is published on the responsibility of the OECD Steering Group on Corporate Governance which agreed the report on 11 February 2009. The Secretariat’s draft report was prepared for the Steering Group by Grant Kirkpatrick under the supervision of Mats Isaksson.

  • Bankrupt Subsidiaries: the Challenges to the Parent of Legal Separation
    ERENSFRIEDMAN&MAYERFELD GALLEYSFINAL 1/27/2009 10:25:46 AM BANKRUPT SUBSIDIARIES: THE CHALLENGES TO THE PARENT OF LEGAL SEPARATION ∗ Brad B. Erens ∗∗ Scott J. Friedman ∗∗∗ Kelly M. Mayerfeld The financial distress of a subsidiary can be a difficult event for its parent company. When the subsidiary faces the prospect of a bankruptcy filing, the parent likely will need to address many more issues than simply its lost investment in the subsidiary. Unpaid creditors of the subsidiary instinctively may look to the parent as a target to recover on their claims under any number of legal theories, including piercing the corporate veil, breach of fiduciary duty, and deepening insolvency. The parent also may find that it has exposure to the subsidiary’s creditors under various state and federal statutes, or under contracts among the parties. In addition, untangling the affairs of the parent and subsidiary, if the latter is going to reorganize under chapter 11 and be owned by its creditors, can be difficult. All of these issues may, in fact, lead to financial challenges for the parent itself. Parent companies thus are well advised to consider their potential exposure to a subsidiary’s creditors not only once the subsidiary actually faces financial distress, but well in advance as a matter of prudent corporate planning. If a subsidiary ultimately is forced to file for chapter 11, however, the bankruptcy laws do provide unique procedures to resolve any existing or potential litigation between the parent and the subsidiary’s creditors and to permit the parent to obtain a clean break from the subsidiary’s financial problems.

    INVESTCORP MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY During its fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 (FY09), Investcorp has witnessed what has been, arguably,the worst period of sustained stress to world economies and financial markets in living memory.The environment has had a severe impact on Investcorp across both its client and its investment businesses, and it has been the most challenging year for Investcorp since its formation in 1982. The management team has focused on dealing with these challenges head on. It has maintained an active and open dialog with clients throughout the year and has protected the balance sheet by raising capital, reducing investment risk and mitigating re-financing risk by holding high levels of cash liquidity while de-leveraging the balance sheet at the same time. The successful completion of a preference share issue in excess of $500 million, more than double the stated minimum target, in such a difficult environment is clear evidence of confidence in Investcorp’s business model and management team. Although the length and depth of the global recession is still uncertain, management believes that the firm action taken during the fiscal year will enable Investcorp to move forward and focus on the attractive business opportunities that now present themselves. BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT The sub-prime housing crisis that started in the United States in 2007 developed in late calendar year 2008 into a major systemic financial crisis, sending economic activity in the developed world into a synchronized downward spiral.This has led the IMF to make continual downward revisions to its estimate for global growth in calendar years 2009 and 2010.

  • Ten Reasons Why Commodities
    10 Reasons Why Commodities LAZARD GLOBAL COMMODITIES 1. Build a bridge to the new economy Commodity trading is indispensable in the production and delivery of the fossil fuels that power today’s economy, and it will be equally indispensable as energy markets evolve. Global futures markets are developing for the trading of carbon allotments as well as wind and solar power. And even now many of the components of tomorrow’s transport—such as the rare metals used in batteries for electric vehicles—trade on futures exchanges. 2. Invest in the global recovery Commodity returns rise fastest when business confidence returns and the pace of economic growth begins to quicken. Base commodity demand does not vary—people have to heat and eat regardless of economic conditions. As the business cycle revives, as it has recently, incremental demand should surge. 3.

[email protected] Maneerut is a Senior Associate Director at The Quant Group – Investment Banking, she graduated magna cum laude in Industrial Engineering from Chulalongkorn University and an MBA from Stanford University. May 2008 Smackdown - The Fight for Financial Hegemony Last night I switched on the cable and World Wrestling Championship was on. I’ve never really watched wrestling before but for the five minutes that I did, it seemed like the fight was between two greasy large muscular male slamming their heads at each other surrealistically and theatrically slapstick. Amidst this fight another large muscular male came out from backstage, jumped into the ring and dropped-kick one wrestler who fell off the stage then turned around and slammed the other wrestler while the referee bounced around the ring ineffectively. Apparently this is a common scene on “Smackdown”. I don’t know what it is exactly but this made me think about the fights for the hegemony in global deal-making between the three giants: Private Equity Funds (PE), Hedge Funds (HF), and Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWF). And while the authorities and senate banking committees don’t always wear striped black and white referee shirts, they seem to be bouncing around not quite certain what to do as well. And here's how the giants compare by size. The Asset Under Management (AUM) of PE by the end of year 2007 was around US$1.16 trillion. The AUM of SWFs rose from US$500 Million in 1990 to US$3.3 trillion in 2007, overshadowing the US$1.7 trillion of AUM thought to be managed by HFs in year 2007 (up from $490 billion in year 2000).
