Last February, we posted an entry flagging potential concerns arising from the SEC’s new pay-to-play rules for investment advisors as applied to presidential candidates. Admittedly, at the time we were talking about Governors Haley Barbour and Mitch Daniels, but the same holds true now for Texas Governor Rick Perry.
The Compliance Building blog (Presidential Campaign Season and the SEC’s Pay-to-Play Rule) has just posted an excellent analysis of the issue. I highly recommend you check it out. As the blog notes:
“Registered Investment Advisors, private fund managers getting ready to register with Securities and Exchange Commission, and their employees need to be very cautious about making contributions to Governor Perry if they have a Texas state sponsored fund as a client or investor, or hope to have one as a client or investor in the next two years.”
Transparency Alert: the author is campaign counsel to several federal candidates including former Speaker Newt Gingrich.
