The International Stock Exchange Executives Emeriti (“ISEEE”) is a distinguished group of current and former senior executives from stock and derivatives exchanges representing thirty-two exchanges across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia and South America. We are once again pleased to be hosting this outstanding group of international financial officials for the 5th annual gathering of the ISEEE. The event will be held March 25-28, 2012 in Orlando, Florida.
This group gathers once a year to discuss issues related to capital market reforms. Last year, the Small Business Financing Crisis (SBFC) Task Force, recognizing that a “one-size-fits-all” approach to public market regulation is not working, developed a “carve out” construct designed to facilitate the raising of equity capital for financing small and medium sized enterprises to create jobs and stimulate the economies in countries worldwide. In conjunction with this, they issued the Orlando Declaration in support of urgent capital market reforms in the U.S. and abroad.
Present or past affiliations of the group’s members include the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ, American Stock Exchange, the National Stock Exchange and the Chicago Board of Options Exchange, the Philadephia Stock Exchange, Amsterdam Stock Exchange, Euronext, Istanbul Stock Exchange, Stockholm Exchange, OMX, Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange and Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing, the Toronto Stock Exchange, Sao Paulo Stock Exchange (Bovespa), New Zealand Stock Exchange, Johannesburg Stock Exchange, Borsa Italiana, London Stock Exchange, Luxembourg Stock Exchange, Cairo and Alexandria Stock Exchanges, Vienna Stock Exchange, Prague Stock Exchange, Eurex, Deutsche Börse, Zurich Stock Exchange, Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange, Frankfurt Stock Exchange, Australian Securities Exchange, European Options Exchange and the Berlin Stock Exchange. Nearly half the attendees have senior securities regulatory experience.
