SUMMARY:Merger Masters: Tales of Arbitrage\, presented by Kate Welling and Mario Gabelli
DESCRIPTION:This presentation by Kate Welling\, the publisher of the financial journal Welling on Wall St.\, and Mario Gabelli\, the chairman and CEO of Gamco Investors\, Inc.\, will reveal profiles of monumentally successful merger investors based on exclusive interviews with some of the greatest minds to practice the art of arbitrage. Michael Price\, John Paulson\, Paul Singer\, and others offer practical perspectives on how their backgrounds in the risk-conscious world of merger arbitrage helped them make their biggest deals. They share their insights on the discipline that underlies their fortunes\, whether they practice the “plain vanilla” strategy of announced deals\, the aggressive strategy of activist investment\, or any strategy in between on the risk spectrum. \nMerger Masters delves into the human side of risk arbitrage\, exploring how top practitioners deal with the behavioral aspects of generating consistent profits from risk arbitrage. The book also includes perspectives from the other side of the mergers and acquisitions divide in the form of interviews with a trio of iconic CEOs: Bill Stiritz\, Peter McCausland\, and Paul Montrone. All three took advantage of M&A opportunities to help build long-term returns but often found themselves at odds with the short-term focus of Wall Street and merger investors. Told in lively\, accessible prose\, with bonus facts and figures for transaction junkies\, Merger Masters is an incomparable set of stories with plenty of unfiltered lessons from the best managers of our time. \nThe first 250 attendees will receive a copy of this book. \nSponsored by the CFA Society of NY\, the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis\, and the Museum of American Finance

SUMMARY:Financial Crisis\, Corporate Governance\, and Bank Capital: A Presentation by Author Sanjai Bhagat
DESCRIPTION:The Fordham Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis cordially invites you to a special book presentation by Sanjai Bhaghat\, author of Financial Crisis\, Corporate Governance\, and Bank Capital. \nIn the aftermath of the 2008 crisis\, senior policymakers and the media blamed excessive risk-taking by bank executives—undertaken in response to their compensation incentives—for the crisis. The inevitable follow-up to this was to introduce stronger financial regulation\, in the hope that better and more ethical behavior could be induced. Despite the honorable intentions of regulation\, such as the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010\, it is clear that many big banks are still deemed too big to fail. This book argues that by restructuring executive incentive programs to include only restricted stock and restricted stock options with very long vesting periods\, and by financing banks with considerably more equity\, the potential of future financial crises can be minimized.
