The Future of Financials M&A and Regulation
We hosted a panel to discuss the state and outlook of M&A and regulation. Given the results of the US election and the potential for easing of regulations, the panel discussed a timely topic on the mind of investors. Our panelists included Rodgin Cohen, Senior Chairman of Sullivan & Cromwell; Richard Kim, partner at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, and Ed Hill, Senior Vice President, Government Affairs, Bank of America Corporation.
- Regulation is about tone: Our panelists agreed that the scope and strength of regulation comes from the tone and attitude of regulators rather than from legislation. They noted that an attempt to repeal legislation such as Dodd-Frank would be misplaced as most direction derives from the tops of regulatory bodies. They also felt Senator Hensarling's Financial Choice Act would not be a better alternative to Dodd-Frank given the 10% leverage ratio is not a Federal Reserve definition of leverage. Utilizing a Fed definition would likely lead to leverage north of 10%. The inclusion of CAMEL ratings with the leverage ratio would also allow regulatory sway over institutions.
