SEC Revs Up Short-Sale Crackdown – March 6
The SEC has proposed a new rule aimed at curbing naked short-sale abuses. Also, a new venture capital fund that will seed consumer media companies is being produced by a partnership between a Hollywood talent agency, two venture capital firms and a major telecom. Meanwhile, in efforts to get PE firms to better engage workers in portfolio companies, at least three of the largest trade unions in the UK have embarked on a campaign to make sure PE firms are required to abide by the proposed Transfer of Undertakings and Protection and Employment Bill. Finally, cash-heavy HFs may find new feeding grounds in Australia, as they look for new opportunities and while the companies down under are turning to alternative funding.
