Professor Andrew A.

Professor Schwartz's April 24 presentation, based on his book Investment Crowdfunding (Oxford University Press 2023),Ìýwas preceded by remarks from SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce, and SEC Chairman Paul Atkins delivered remarks at the opening of the event.Ìý

"It was a genuine honor to address such a remarkable gathering of securities regulators from around the world," said Professor Schwartz. "Delegates from countries including Brazil, Ethiopia, Ghana, Indonesia, and Jordan were there to draw on international experience as they build investment crowdfunding frameworks in their home jurisdictions, and several approached me afterward to continue the conversation. I look forward to staying in touch and helping them craft regulations that work for their markets."Ìý
