Introduction to U.S. Federal Securities Laws: Guide to the Legislative Process, Regulatory Process, and Judicial Review Stuart J Kaswell ISBN 9781639056040

Introduction to U.S. Federal Securities Laws is a unique and comprehensive guide to navigating the complexities of federal securities regulation. Going beyond the “what,” this book explores the “why”—examining the problems Congress and the SEC sought to address, the reasoning behind key rules, and the practical implications of the law. What distinguishes illegal insider trading from legitimate investment research? Can an asset like the “Hope Diamond” qualify as capital for a broker-dealer? How do hedge funds, mutual funds, and money market funds differ in structure and regulation? This book answers these questions and many more.

Drawing on over 40 years of experience as a financial services attorney, author Stuart Kaswell provides clear, practical insights to help readers understand and apply U.S. federal securities laws. This detailed, easy-to-read guide includes:

  • The background and purpose of federal securities laws

  • Interpretation of the Glass-Steagall Act

  • An overview of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)

  • Case studies including Salomon Brothers and the U.S. Treasury scandal involving Warren Buffett

  • Examination of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

  • Introduction to the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940

  • Discussion on the legal status of cryptocurrencies as securities

  • And much more

Introduction to U.S. Federal Securities Laws is an indispensable resource for attorneys, financial professionals, students, and anyone seeking a clear, practical understanding of the U.S. securities regulatory framework.
