Abstract

The article discusses selective aspects of disclosure in securities law and how it serves as a public policy instrument in global capital markets. It is reported that disclosure is a critically important public policy instrument in securities law and most jurisdictions use a disclosure-based system. The article suggests that both upside potential and downside risks to market integrity are offered by the increasing complexity of products and the rapid growth in electronic-based disclosure.
