Insider Trading, Digital Assets and MNPI: Regulatory Developments and Compliance Risks
Insider Trading, Digital Assets and MNPI
The SEC recently warned investment advisers of common deficiencies related to their firms’ code of ethics and material non-public information (MNPI) policies. Although some of the deficiencies cited are familiar to compliance officers, there are new twists that are noteworthy regarding what’s defined as MNPI and the use of alternative data. And the first ever insider trading case involving NFT’s adds to the expansion and application of existing fraud and securities laws to the new universe of digital assets.
What does this mean for compliance? The developments highlight the need for strong compliance oversight, and further emphasize that proper handling of MNPI is a core compliance responsibility of all advisers.
