Date/Time: Wednesday December 9 2009
Location: HBS Aldrich 112 (map/directions)

Expert insights on the future of global finance as well for here at home:  Please join us for an evening with MFS Chairman and HBS Professor, Bob Pozen. 

 

In Bob’s new book, Too Big to Save, Bob not only identifies the multiple factors causing the financial crisis, but also evaluates the governmental responses so far to this crisis and suggests what actions should be taken to prevent future crises.  He'll talk about how it affects us as business leaders and as individual investors. 

When Bob Pozen talks, people listen— with good reason. This book is full of wisdom about the flaws in our financial system that let the crisis develop and, more important, detailed prescriptions for fixing it. Read it. Then keep it on your desk as a reference.” Alan S. Blinder, Former Vice Chairman, Federal Reserve Board, Gordon S. Rentschler Memorial Professor of Economics and Public Affairs, Princeton University 

Bob will focus on four issues:

• Why revival of the loan securitization process is important to the American recovery 

• How the government should decide which financial institutions should be recapitalized 

• Why mega banks need a much smaller and stronger board of directors 

• How the monitoring of systemic risks should be integrated within an enhanced structure of financial regulation 

Bob is Chairman of MFS Investment Management, which manages over $150 billion in assets for individual and institutional investors. He currently is a senior lecturer at the Harvard Business School and was chairman of the SEC advisory committee on improving financial reporting during 2008. In 2001 and 2002, Pozen served on President Bush’s Commission to Strengthen Social Security.  

In 2003, he served as Secretary of Economic Affairs for Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney. Pozen was also formerly vice chairman of Fidelity Investments and president of Fidelity Management & Research Company. He has published a broad variety of articles in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, and the Financial Times of London.
