Summary:
"The topic of investor protection has occupied investors, regulators, academics, and courts since at least the Great Crash of 1929 and the Great Depression of the 1930s. The topic, however, exploded in importance after the 2008 financial crisis and the Bernard Madoff Ponzi scheme of the same year. In addition, the relatively high returns for equity, compared to other asset classes, has fueled the growth of the equity markets, which continues to spark questions over whether regulators are doing all they can to protect investors"-- Provided by publisher
