Thomas Gauweiler: Handelsinformationen und Fundamentalwertrelevanz, Gebunden

Klappentext

For European market abuse law, the concept of inside information pursuant to Art. 7 MAR is central. Alongside the well-known category of value-related information, so-called trading information constitutes a distinct case of application. Despite its far-reaching economic significance, trading information and its characteristics have received comparatively little attention in legal discourse. The reasons are manifold. First, the statutory criteria appear largely similar. Moreover, Art. 7(1)(d) MAR is predominantly understood as a mere illustrative example. In addition, the source of the arbitrage potential inherent in trading information is legally more difficult to capture than that of value-related information. Finally, the techniques allegedly suitable for exploiting trading information remain largely unknown to the broader capital market public. Thomas Gauweiler contributes to enhancing the applicability of the (legal) concept of trading information under Art. 7(1)(d) MAR by embedding it, from a perspective of law and economics, within the complex landscape of capital markets.
