Board Oversight of Securities Trading Practices

Foley Partner Peter Fetzer authored an article titled “Board Oversight of Securities Trading Practices” in the April 2010 issue of Fund Directions. Fetzer provides a brief primer on board oversight of a fund’s securities trading practices, stating that understanding the risks related to these practices is key to a fund director’s oversight role. He adds that a fund and its shareholders will be better protected when directors carefully review disclosure documents and ask questions in order to develop an understanding of the fund’s securities trading practices and related risks.
