Prudential and regulatory changes have introduced new levels of complexity into global markets, the effects of which will play out over decades.  Keen foresight, astute observation, and a thorough understanding of the past and present of financial markets are vital to addressing the potential perils and profits ahead.

The Center for the Study of Financial Market Evolution (CSFME) is an independent, nonprofit organization whose mission is to improve transparency, reduce risks, support research, and promote sound regulation of financial markets. It does so by conducting data-driven analysis, providing investor education and outreach, and supporting regulatory reviews in otherwise opaque markets. It serves individual and institutional investors, banks, brokers, other financial market participants, academic institutions, and government regulatory agencies.

Regulatory Outreach for Student Education (ROSE) Program. CSFME partners directly with universities and colleges to help students better appreciate the subtleties of the ongoing debate among professionals in the U.S. financial industry and policy makers at the federal regulatory agencies.  CSFME's ROSE Program provides top economics and finance undergraduates with opportunities to  meet with representatives from industry trade groups and federal agencies in Washington. Learn more about ROSE.
