He has been on the front line of finance for all the major events of the last quarter-century\, including the Asian Financial Crisis\, the dot-com bubble and collapse\, 9/11\, and the Great Financial Crisis.

SUMMARY:IPED Lecture Series 2022-2023: A More Just Economic System
DESCRIPTION:A growing chorus of economists and politicians is demanding a new paradigm to create a global economy for the common good. In his recent book Cathonomics\, Anthony M. Annett unites insights in economics with those from theology\, philosophy\, climate science\, and psychology\, exposing the failures of neoliberalism while offering us a new model rooted in the wisdom of Catholic social teaching and classical ethical traditions. Drawing from the work of Pope Leo XIII\, Pope Francis\, Thomas Aquinas\, and Aristotle\, Annett applies these teachings to discuss current economic challenges such as inequality\, unemployment and underemployment\, climate change\, and the roles of business and finance. \nAnnett is a Gabelli fellow at Fordham University and a senior adviser at the Sustainable Development Solutions Network. He has a Ph.D. in economics from Columbia University and spent two decades at the International Monetary Fund\, where he worked as a speechwriter to the managing director. He is also a member of the College of Fellows of the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Bruce Usher on Investing in the Era of Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:A climate catastrophe can be avoided\, but only with rapid and sustained investment in companies and projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. To the surprise of many\, this has already begun. Investors are abandoning fossil-fuel companies and other polluting industries and financing businesses offering climate solutions. Rising risks\, evolving social norms\, government policies\, and technological innovation are all accelerating this movement of capital. \nBruce Usher offers an indispensable guide to the risks and opportunities for investors as the world faces climate change. He explores the role that investment plays in reducing emissions to net zero by 2050\, detailing how to finance the winners and avoid the losers in a transforming global economy. Usher argues that careful examination of climate solutions will offer investors a new and necessary lens on the future for their own financial benefit and for the greater good. Companies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions will create great wealth\, and\, more importantly\, they will provide a lifeline for humanity. \nGrounded in academic and industry research\, Usher’s insights bring clarity to a complex and controversial topic while illuminating the people behind the numbers. This book sets out a practical and actionable plan for investors to alter the course of climate change. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks: James Kelly\, director\, Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis \n12:03 p.m.: Speaker Introduction: David Cowen\, president and CEO\, Museum of American Finance \n12:08: p.m.: Presentation: Bruce Usher \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: David Cowen \nAbout the Speaker\nBruce Usher is professor of professional practice and the Elizabeth B. Strickler ’86 and Mark T. Gallogly ’86 Faculty Director of the Tamer Center for Social Enterprise at Columbia Business School\, where he teaches on the intersection of financial\, social\, and environmental issues. He was previously an entrepreneur and worked in financial services in New York and Tokyo. Usher is also the author of Renewable Energy: A Primer for the Twenty-First Century (Columbia\, 2019). \nCopies of Investing in the Era of Climate Change will be raffled off to attendees. \nThis event is co-sponsored with the CFA Society New York\, the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis\, and the Museum of American Finance.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: James Park on The Valuation Treadmill: How Securities Fraud Threatens the Integrity of Public Companies
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lunchtime talk with UCLA Law professor James Park\, author of the forthcoming book The Valuation Treadmill: How Securities Fraud Threatens the Integrity of Public Companies\, who will discuss the history of securities fraud regulation from the 1960s until the present. \nPublic companies now face constant pressure to meet investor expectations. The typical public company must continually deliver strong short-term performance every quarter to maintain its stock price. This valuation treadmill creates incentives for corporations to deceive investors. Published 20 years after the passage of Sarbanes-Oxley\, which requires all public companies to invest in measures to ensure the accuracy of their disclosures\, The Valuation Treadmill shows how securities fraud became a major regulatory concern. Drawing on case studies of paradigmatic securities enforcement actions involving Xerox\, Penn Central\, Apple\, Enron\, Citigroup\, and General Electric\, the book argues that corporate securities fraud emerged as investors increasingly valued companies based on their future performance. Corporations now have an incentive to issue unrealistically optimistic disclosure to convince markets that their success will continue. Securities regulation must do more to protect the integrity of public companies from the pressure of the valuation treadmill. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks: Sris Chatterjee\, chair\, Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis \n12:03 p.m.: Speaker Introduction: David Cowen\, president and CEO\, Museum of American Finance \n12:08: p.m.: Presentation: James Park \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: David Cowen \nAbout the Speaker\nJames Park is a professor of law at UCLA School of Law\, where he teaches securities regulation. Before becoming a law professor\, he worked as an assistant attorney general in the Investor Protection Bureau of the New York Attorney General’s Office. He is a graduate of Yale Law School and Miami University (Ohio). \nCopies of The Valuation Treadmill will be raffled off to attendees. \nThis event is co-sponsored with the CFA Society New York\, the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis\, and the Museum of American Finance.

SUMMARY:RESCHEDULED: Centennial Speaker Series: Mary Childs on The Bond King: How One Man Made a Market\, Built an Empire\, and Lost It All
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lunchtime talk with the host of NPR’s Planet Money as she uncovers the deeply investigated story of how one visionary\, dogged investor changed American finance forever. Before Bill Gross was known among investors as the Bond King\, he was a gambler. In 1966\, a fresh college grad\, he went to Las Vegas armed with his net worth ($200) and a knack for counting cards. Countless casino bans and $10\,000 later\, he was hooked: So he enrolled in business school. \nThe Bond King is the story of how that whiz kid made American finance his casino. Over the course of decades\, Gross turned the sleepy bond market into a destabilized game of high risk\, high reward; founded Pimco\, one of today’s most powerful\, secretive\, and cutthroat investment firms; helped to reshape our financial system in the aftermath of the Great Recession—to his own advantage; and gained legions of admirers and enemies along the way. Like every American antihero\, his ambition would also be his undoing. \nTo understand the winners and losers of today’s money game\, journalist Mary Childs argues\, is to understand the bond market—and to understand the bond market is to understand the Bond King. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks: Sris Chatterjee\, chair\, Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis \n12:03 p.m.: Speaker Introductions: David Cowen\, president and CEO\, Museum of American Finance \n12:08: p.m.: Presentation: Mary Childs \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: David Cowen \nAbout the Speaker\nMary Childs is a co-host and correspondent for NPR’s Planet Money podcast. Previously\, she was a reporter at Barron’s magazine\, the Financial Times\, and Bloomberg News. She graduated from Washington & Lee University in Lexington\, Virginia\, with a degree in business journalism. \nCopies of The Bond King will be raffled off to attendees. \nThis event is co-sponsored with the CFA Society New York\, the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis\, and the Museum of American Finance.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Gillian Tett on Anthro-Vision: A New Way to See in Business and Life
DESCRIPTION:Amid severe digital disruption\, economic upheaval\, and political flux\, how can we make sense of the world? Leaders today typically look for answers in economic models\, big data\, or artificial intelligence platforms. Gillian Tett points to anthropology—the study of human culture. \nAnthropologists learn to get inside the minds of other people\, helping them not only understand other cultures but also appraise their own environment with a fresh perspective as an insider-outsider\, gaining lateral vision. Today\, anthropologists are more likely to study Amazon warehouses than remote Amazon tribes. They have done research into institutions and companies\, such as General Motors\, Nestlé\, Intel\, and more\, shedding light on such practical questions as how Internet users define themselves\, why corporate projects fail\, why bank traders miscalculate losses\, how companies sell certain products\, and why pandemic policies succeed (or not). Anthropology makes the familiar seem unfamiliar and vice versa\, giving a 3D perspective in a world where many executives are plagued by tunnel vision\, especially in fields like finance and technology. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks: James Kelly\, director\, Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis \n12:03 p.m.: Speaker Introduction: David Cowen\, president and CEO\, Museum of American Finance \n12:08: p.m.: Presentation: Gillian Tett \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: David Cowen \nAbout the Speaker\nGillian Tett serves as the chair of the editorial board and U.S. editor at large of the Financial Times. She writes weekly columns\, covering a range of economic\, financial\, political\, and social issues. She is also the co-founder of FT Moral Money\, a twice-weekly newsletter that tracks the ESG revolution in business and finance\, which has since grown to be a staple FT product. In 2020 and 2021\, Moral Money won the SABEW best newsletter. \nPreviously\, Tett was the FT’s U.S. managing editor from 2013 to 2019. She has also served as assistant editor for the FT’s markets coverage\, capital markets editor\, deputy editor of the Lex column\, Tokyo bureau chief\, Tokyo correspondent\, London-based economics reporter\, and a reporter in Russia and Brussels. She is the author of The Silo Effect (2016) and Fool’s Gold (2009)\, a New York Times bestseller and Financial Book of the Year at the inaugural Spear’s Book Awards\, and Saving the Sun: A Wall Street Gamble to Rescue Japan from its Trillion Dollar Meltdown (2003). Her latest book is Anthro-Vision: A New Way to See In Business and Life (2021). \nIn 2014\, Tett won the Royal Anthropological Institute Marsh Award and was named Columnist of the Year at the British Press Awards. Her 2012 article “Madoff Spins His Story” won the SABEW Award for best feature article. Before joining the Financial Times in 1993\, Tett earned a Ph.D. in social anthropology from Cambridge University based on field work in the former Soviet Union. While pursuing the Ph.D.\, she freelanced for the FT and the BBC. \nCopies of Anthro-Vision will be raffled off to attendees. \nThis event is co-sponsored with the CFA Society New York\, the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis\, and the Museum of American Finance.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Roger Lowenstein on Ways and Means: Lincoln and His Cabinet and the Financing of the Civil War
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lunchtime talk with renowned journalist and master storyteller Roger Lowenstein\, as he discusses his revelatory financial investigation into how President Abraham Lincoln and his administration used the funding of the Civil War as the catalyst to centralize the government and accomplish the most far-reaching reform in the country’s history. \nLincoln inherited a country in crisis. Even before the Confederacy’s secession\, the U.S. Treasury had run out of money. The government had no authority to raise taxes\, no federal bank\, and no currency. But amid unprecedented troubles\, Lincoln saw an opportunity: the chance to legislate in the centralizing spirit of the “more perfect union” that had first drawn him to politics. With Lincoln at the helm\, the United States would now govern “for” its people: it would enact laws\, establish a currency\, raise armies\, underwrite transportation and higher education\, assist farmers\, and impose taxes. Lincoln believed this agenda would foster the economic opportunity he had always sought for upwardly striving Americans. \nSalmon Chase\, Lincoln’s vanquished rival and his new secretary of the Treasury\, waged war on the financial front\, levying taxes and marketing bonds while desperately battling to contain wartime inflation. And while the Union and rebel armies fought increasingly savage battles\, the Republican-led Congress enacted a blizzard of legislation that made the government\, for the first time\, a powerful presence in the lives of ordinary Americans. The impact was revolutionary. The activist 37th Congress legislated for homesteads and a transcontinental railroad and involved the federal government in education\, agriculture\, and eventually immigration policy. It established a progressive income tax and created the greenback—paper money. While the Union became self-sustaining\, the South plunged into financial free fall\, having failed to leverage its cotton wealth to finance the war. Founded in a crucible of anti-centralism\, the Confederacy was trapped in a static (and slave-based) agrarian economy without federal taxing power or other means of government financing\, save for its overworked printing presses. This led to an epic collapse. Though Confederate troops continued to hold their own\, the North’s financial advantage over the South\, where citizens increasingly went hungry\, proved decisive; the war was won as much (or more) in the respective treasuries as on the battlefields. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks: Sris Chatterjee\, chair\, Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis \n12:03 p.m.: Speaker Introductions: David Cowen\, president and CEO\, Museum of American Finance \n12:08: p.m.: Presentation: Roger Lowenstein \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: David Cowen \nAbout the Speaker\nRoger Lowenstein reported for The Wall Street Journal for more than a decade. His work also has appeared in Bloomberg\, The New York Times\, Washington Post\, Fortune\, The Atlantic\, and the New York Review of Books. In addition to Ways and Means\, his books include the NYT bestsellers Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist\, When Genius Failed: The Rise and Fall of Long-Term Capital Management\, and The End of Wall Street\, as well as the critically acclaimed Origins of the Crash: The Great Bubble and Its Undoing\, While America Aged\, and America’s Bank: The Epic Struggle to Create the Federal Reserve. \nCopies of Ways and Means will be raffled off to attendees. \nThis event is co-sponsored with the CFA Society New York\, the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis\, and the Museum of American Finance.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Daniel Peris on Why Modern Portfolio Theory Fails Investors
DESCRIPTION:We are in a time of enormous risk. Economic growth is anemic\, and political risk to the capital markets is on the rise. In the U.S.\, a generation of white-collar baby boomers is heading into retirement with insufficient assets in their 401(k) programs\, and industrial workers are stuck with materially underfunded pension plans. Against that backdrop\, the investing industry’s current set of practices and assumptions―modern portfolio theory (MPT)―is based on a half-century-old formula that is supposed to deliver the maximum amount of return for a given amount of risk. The trouble is that it doesn’t work very well. \nIn Getting Back to Business: Why Modern Portfolio Theory Fails Investors and How You Can Bring Common Sense to Your Portfolio\, dividend-investing guru Daniel Peris proposes a radical new approach―radical in that it does away with MPT in favor of a more intuitive\, common-sense approach practiced by business people in their own affairs every day: cash returns on cash investments. \nPeris will also discuss being a historian in a profession with a notably low historical sensibility. How did a historian of the early Soviet period end up as a portfolio manager with $25 billion under advisement\, a management team of 12\, and author of three books on dividend investing? \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks and Introductions: Sris Chatterjee\, professor and chair\, Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis; and James Kelly\, professor and director\, Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis \n12:05 p.m.: Presentation: Daniel Peris \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: James Kelly \nAbout the Speaker\nDaniel Peris\, Ph.D.\, is senior vice president and senior portfolio manager at Federated-Hermes Inc.\, in Pittsburgh\, where he oversees $25 billion in dividend-focused portfolios. He is the author of three books on capital markets. \nBefore transitioning into asset management\, Peris was a historian focused on modern Russian history. In that capacity\, Peris was a Fulbright-Hays scholar in the former Soviet Union from 1991 to 1992 and held a post-doctoral fellowship at the Hoover Institution of Stanford University in 1995. Follow him on Twitter at @historyinvestor\, and visit his website at strategicdividendinvestor.com. \nCopies of Getting Back to Business will be raffled off to attendees. \nThis event is co-sponsored with the CFA Society New York\, the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis\, and the Museum of American Finance.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Robin Wigglesworth on Trillions: How a Band of Wall Street Renegades Invented the Index Fund and Changed Finance Forever
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lunchtime program with Robin Wigglesworth\, the Financial Times‘ global finance correspondent and author of Trillions\, as he discusses the incredible true story of the iconoclastic geeks who defied conventional wisdom and endured Wall Street’s scorn to launch the index fund revolution\, democratizing investing and saving hundreds of billions of dollars in fees. \nFifty years ago\, the Manhattan Project of money management was quietly assembled in the financial industry’s backwaters\, unified by the heretical idea that even many of the world’s finest investors couldn’t beat the market in the long run. The motley crew of nerds—including Gene Fama\, Jack Bogle\, John McQuown\, and Nate Most—succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. Passive investing now accounts for more than $20 trillion\, equal to the entire gross domestic product of the U.S.\, and today is a force reshaping markets\, finance\, and even capitalism itself in myriad subtle but pivotal ways. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks: Sris Chatterjee\, chair\, Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis \n12:03 p.m.: Speaker Introductions: David Cowen\, president and CEO\, Museum of American Finance \n12:08: p.m.: Presentation: Robin Wigglesworth \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: David Cowen \nAbout the Speaker\nRobin Wigglesworth is the FT’s global finance correspondent\, based in Oslo\, Norway. He focuses on the biggest forces reshaping the financial system\, with a particular focus on technological disruption and quantitative investing\, writing longer-form features\, analyses\, profiles\, and columns. He was previously the U.S. markets editor\, spearheading the outlet’s coverage of financial markets and asset management across the Americas\, deputy head of FastFT\, capital markets correspondent\, and Gulf correspondent. \nCopies of Trillions will be raffled off to attendees. \nThis event is co-sponsored with the CFA Society New York\, the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis\, and the Museum of American Finance.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Campbell R. Harvey on DeFi and the Future of Finance
DESCRIPTION:Govern­ments bailed out the very institutions that let the economy down\, spurring a serious rethink of our financial system. Does it make any sense that it takes two days to settle a stock transaction? Why do retailers\, operating on razor-thin margins\, have to pay 3% for every customer credit card swipe? Why does it take two days to transfer money from a bank account to a brokerage—or any other company? Why are savings rates minuscule or negative? Why is it so difficult for entrepreneurs to get financ­ing at traditional banks? \nIn DeFi and the Future of Finance\, Campbell R. Harvey\, Ashwin Ramachandran\, and Joey Santoro introduce the new world of decen­tralized finance. The book argues that the current financial landscape is ripe for dis­ruption and we are seeing\, in real time\, the reinvention of finance. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks: Sris Chatterjee\, chair\, Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis \n12:05 p.m.: Presentation: Campbell R.
