Book Description

ISBN-10: 0198298587 | ISBN-13: 978-0198298588 | Publication Date: February 15, 2001

This book focuses on the legal implications of how assets are held on behalf of investors by other parties (such as brokers, investment managers, specialist custodians, and central depositaries) and in particular how the chosen method affects the legal rights of the investor over the assets in question. The impact of immobilization, dematerialization, and settlement practices are all considered.
