| | Chinese wall - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Chinese wall is also used in law firms in situations where one part of the firm, which is representing a party on a deal or litigation, is separate from another part of the firm that might otherwise have an adverse effect on the party's interests. | | | A Chinese Wall is most commonly employed in investment banks, where such banks offer corporate finance services to companies (managing the fund-raising, for example), and at the same time also provide financial research information to a more general audience. | | | Because it is possible to manipulate the financial research reports to encourage the general public to purchase shares in a company (for example), the conflict of interest arises when such a company is also the customer of this particular investment bank. |

| | Fordham Journal of Corporate & Financial Law: ARE CHINESE WALLS THE BEST SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEMS OF INSIDER ... |
| | A Chinese Wall is the primary weapon used to prevent insider trading.4 Insider trading is the illegal trading of a security based on material, nonpublic information.5 In a multi-service broker-dealer, the investment banking department usually obtains this material, nonpublic information through its relationship with corporate clients. | | | Chinese Walls will only prevent insider trading at the broker-dealer level, but instances of insider trading by insiders and their tippees will continue to occur. | | | Chinese Walls may partially control conflicts of interest and insider trading; however, this success comes with some significant costs. |

| | Mwenda, 'Banks and the Use of Chinese Walls in Managing Conflict of Duties' [2000] 2 Web JCLI |
| | Indeed, problems that could arise, say, in the case of a Chinese wall in a law firm or investment Bank might be different from those arising in the case of a Chinese wall in an accounting or auditing firm or in a stock-broking firm. | | | The guidance envisages that Chinese walls can only be used in very rare cases following the amalgamation of two firms and then only when the best interests of clients permit the amalgamated firm to continue to act and the clients have received full and frank independent advice and have subsequently consented to the arrangement. | | | Fiduciary obligations of financial institutions such as Banks are examined and the article provides an international and comparative study on the subject. |

| | Their financial counterparts spawned in the 1990s are International Trade and Investment Corporations, ITICs (joint ventures of local governments and foreign entities), rural credit cooperatives (RCCs, grown up to 35,000 by 2004), urban cooperative banks and credit unions, city commercial banks, and the 11 joint-stock commercial banks, national in scope. | | | It is their opposites that are novel and unique--separation of credit from payments and integration of credit, investment, and deposits through financial intermediation between households and firms through the banking system. | | | Separation between credit and payments, which is the first-order outcome of the rise of financial intermediation in banking, led to emancipation of investment from commerce on the eve of the industrial era. |

| | If we look at the broader types of financial assistance -- various packaged awards, such as grants with jobs, or loans -- it shows that the average such packaged award in 1969-70 to the average man student was $1,465 and to the average women student it was $1,173. | | | The College's financial aid program is therefore clearly a "program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance." The legislative history of Title IX supports this conclusion. | | | When Congress authorized BEOG funding for needy students' educational expenses, it undertook a financial burden that colleges would otherwise have shouldered alone through their scholarship and financial aid programs. |

| | Historically, Wall Street analysts have been paid a combination of a base salary, a percentage based upon trading volume in the stocks that they cover, and a percentage of any investment banking deals with which they are involved. | | | Following the crash of 1929, the government sought to provide a separation between investment bankers and brokerage firms in order to avoid the conflict of interest between objective analysis and the desire to have a successful stock offering. | | | These packages are generally structured to reward good stock picking; however, the potential for ethical conflict is greatest in investment-banking deals. |
