Alexander Platt, associate professor of law at the University of Kansas, joins the Business Scholarship Podcast to discuss his article Beyond “Market Transparency”: Investor Disclosure and Corporate Governance. In this article Platt explores twenty governance impacts driven by Exchange Act Section 13(f)—which requires institutional shareholders to periodically disclose their holdings to the public—including on common ownership and competition and shareholder activism. Drawing from these examples, Platt observes that far from a neutral transparency device, Section 13(f) has substantive effects on corporate governance.
