This document is page 2 of a report titled 'Active Stewardship in Financial Services' by Rockefeller & Co., bearing a House Oversight Bates stamp. The text reflects on the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, specifically citing the sale of Bear Stearns to J.P. Morgan in March 2008 as a catalyst. It discusses the lingering lack of public trust in the financial sector due to issues like opaque counterparty exposure and lack of transparency, noting that this was written 'nine years ago' relative to the event (implying a 2017 date).
