Welcome to Supreme Court Opinions. In this episode, you'll hear the Court's opinion in Murray v UBS Securities, LLC. In this case, the court considered this issue: Under 18 U-S-C § 1514A, must a whistleblower prove his employer acted with “retaliatory intent” as part of his case in chief? The case was decided on February 8, 2024. The Supreme Court held that a whistleblower who invokes §1514A must prove that his protected activity was a contributing factor in the employer's unfavorable personnel action, but need not prove that his employer acted with “retaliatory intent.” Justice Sonia Sotomayor authored the unanimous opinion of the Court. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 includes a provision that protects whistleblowers, explicitly prohibiting employers from engaging in retaliation, such as firing, demoting, suspending, threatening, harassing, or discriminating in any way against an employee's employment conditions “because of” the employee's engagement in protected whistleblowing activities. A whistleblower must first demonstrate that their whistleblowing was a significant factor in the alleged adverse employment action, and then the burden shifts to the employer, who must prove that they would have made the same adverse employment decision regardless of the whistleblower's actions. First, the word “discriminate” in the statute does not inherently require “retaliatory intent,” which refers to animus or prejudice. Further, to require a whistleblower to prove “retaliatory intent,” as UBS argues, would ignore the statute's mandatory burden-shifting framework. Contrary to UBS's contention, innocent employers will not face liability for legitimate, nonretaliatory personnel decisions. The burden-shifting framework precludes that outcome. Thus, A whistleblower who invokes 18 U-S-C § 1514A must prove only that his protected activity “was a contributing factor in the unfavorable personnel action alleged in the complaint.” Justice Samuel Alito authored a concurring opinion, in which Justice Amy Coney Barrett joined, reiterating the Court's rejection of the “animus” requirement does not eliminate the intent requirement of the statute. The opinion is presented here in its entirety, but with citations omitted. If you appreciate this episode, please subscribe.

China's new round of financial reform is expected to focus on improving the financial system's ability to better support the country's modernization drive, with a priority on bolstering technological innovation and the broader real economy, said financial experts and executives.Also expected to be high on the agenda of the unfolding reform are intensifying financial regulation and strengthening the crackdown on violations to fend off financial risks, as well as deepening financial opening-up to improve resource allocation efficiency, they said.Their comments come at a juncture when the market eagerly waits to see how China will set the tone for the road map for future financial reform and opening-up at an upcoming vital reform meeting — the third plenary session of the 20th Communist Party of China Central Committee, which is scheduled to be held in Beijing from Monday to Thursday.Early this year, President Xi Jinping urged efforts to accelerate the building of a modern financial system with Chinese characteristics at the opening of a study session at the Party School of the CPC Central Committee (National Academy of Governance).Xi, who is also general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, emphasized that the path of financial development with Chinese characteristics adheres to the fundamental purpose of serving the real economy and takes preventing and controlling risks as the eternal theme of financial work.Tian Xuan, associate dean of Tsinghua University's PBC School of Finance, said that one of the core objectives of China's financial reform should be building a modern financial system that efficiently serves the real economy, especially when it comes to financing innovative emerging sectors at lower costs, in order to support technological innovations and nurture new quality productive forces.He said the country's financial reform is expected to feature strengthened regulation to fend off any systemic risks, with the focus being on financial fraud crackdown in the capital market as well as on deficiencies in the supervision and governance of small and medium-sized financial institutions."Our financial markets are still developing and not yet mature. We need the government to play its role well to correct market failures," said Tian, who is also a deputy to the National People's Congress, the country's top legislature.Tian said he expects the upcoming plenary session to introduce reform measures aimed at further developing venture capital — investment funds that invest in startups for long-term growth and are among key accelerators of technological innovation.A meeting on April 30 of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, which was presided over by Xi, called for efforts to actively develop venture capital and strengthen "patient capital", or investment that generates healthy returns in the long run.The emphasis on venture capital has reflected China's broader efforts in capital market reform. China's financial system is now dominated by the banking industry, yet the capital market is seen as more capable of supporting innovation activity. This makes further capital market development an integral step for China, in order to ensure that the financial system becomes more capable of serving its modernization pursuit, experts said.In April, the State Council, China's Cabinet, released a guideline that rolled out nine measures to promote high-quality development of the capital market, drawing up a blueprint for the market and featuring an intensified crackdown on securities violations and strengthened investor protection.Wu Xiaoqiu, dean of Renmin University of China's National Academy of Financial Research, said the guideline has set the right tone for future capital market reform, urging "tough laws and harsh punishments" to stem violations and address the prominent issues of fraudulent listings and false disclosures.The compensation system for small investors affected by those malpractices and induced delistings should also be improved on both the civil and judicial fronts, Wu said.China's A-share market rallied on Thursday, with the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index rising 1.06 percent on Thursday to close at 2,970.39 points, following a policy measure issued on Wednesday to restrict short-selling.At the Central Financial Work Conference in November, Xi called for giving full play to the pivotal role of the capital market, advancing the registration-based initial public offering system and steadily expanding institutional opening-up in the financial sector.Experts also underlined the need for China to widen opening-up to strengthen the financial system's ability for resource allocation, expecting the upcoming reform meeting to call for ensuring a transparent, predictable regulatory environment for foreign investors and reinforcing the role of Hong Kong as an international financial hub.Zhang Xiaoyan, a chair professor of finance at Tsinghua University's PBC School of Finance, said she expects the country to further drive financial opening-up to attract more foreign institutional investors, whose global perspective and investment expertise will help channel more resources to technological companies with real strength.Thierry Leger, CEO of Paris-based global reinsurer SCOR, said that China's step-by-step financial opening-up has helped shape a high level of confidence, and it is important for the country to continue to build a stable regulatory environment for foreign investors.Eugene Qian, China country head of UBS and chairman of UBS Securities, said the Swiss financial giant, having benefited from China's capital market reform and opening-up, will continue to leverage its international experience and local expertise to support China's further reform in the capital market.Reporter: Zhou Lanxu, Liu Zhihua, Ouyang Shijiaresource allocation efficiency资源配置效率the path of financial development with Chinese characteristics中国特色金融发展之路market failures市场失灵

In this episode of the Whistleblower of the Week podcast, host Jane Turner speaks with leading whistleblower attorney Stephen M. Kohn, founding partner of Kohn, Kohn & Colapinto and Chairman of the Board of National Whistleblower Center, about the recent landmark ruling in the Supreme Court whistleblower case Murray v. UBS Securities. Kohn gives historical perspective on the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) and explains the law. A major aspect of SOX was that it changed the burden of proof so that whistleblowers only need to prove that their whistleblowing was a “contributing factor” to a decision to fire them. In Murray v. UBS Securities, LLC, et al. 601 U. S. ____ (2024), the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit had held that whistleblowers must not prove that the employer acted with “retaliatory intent.” This was the issue before the Supreme Court in Murray. Kohn explains the statute and how the Court applied it in Murray.  He then goes on to discuss the impact of the Court's ruling on whistleblower law. “This precedent not only covers Wall-Street but covers whistleblower laws across the board.” “I believe, based on the Supreme Court decision and the jury verdict, Trevor Murray will ultimately fully prevail, and this will be a historic victory for every single corporate whistleblower, federal employee and other sectors of the economy,” Kohn says.Listen to the podcast on WNN or on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, or Amazon.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 protects whistleblowers who report financial wrongdoing at publicly traded companies. 18 U.S.C. § 1514A. When a whistleblower invokes the Act and claims he was fired because of his report, his claim is "governed by the legal burdens of proof set forth in section 42121(b) of title 49, United States Code." 18 U.S.C. § 1514A(b)(2)(C). Under that incorporated framework, a whistleblowing employee meets his burden by showing that his protected activity "was a contributing factor in the unfavorable personnel action alleged in the complaint." 49 U.S.C. § 42121(b)(2)(B)(iii). If the employee meets that burden, the employer can prevail only if it "demonstrates by clear and convincing evidence that the employer would have taken the same unfavorable personnel action in the absence of that behavior." Id. § 42121(b)(2)(B)(iv). The Question Presented is: Under the burden-shifting framework that governs Sarbanes-Oxley cases, must a whistleblower prove his employer acted with a "retaliatory intent" as part of his case in chief, or is the lack of "retaliatory intent" part of the affirmative defense on which the employer bears the burden of proof?

QUESTION PRESENTED:Whether, following the burden-shifting framework that governs cases under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, a whistleblower must prove his employer acted with a “retaliatory intent” as part of his case in chief, or whether the lack of “retaliatory intent” is part of the affirmative defense on which the employer bears the burden of proof.  ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Murray v. UBS Securities, LLC | 10/10/23 | Docket #: 22-660

Kia ora,Welcome to Thursday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with news all eyes have been on Washington DC and the US Fed.As expected, the American central bank's September policy review was a "hawkish hold". It kept its policy rate at 5.25% following a +25 bps hike in July but signaled there could be one more hike this year. They pointed out that their labour market strength isn't wavering and inflation risks remain high. Tighter credit conditions haven't dampened activity to the extent they need and the remain "highly attentive to inflation risks".In the economic projections they released with today's decision, the 'dot-plot' shows most voting members see a higher rate by the end of the year (12 of 19 whose projections were plotted). Essentially they are signaling that rates will stay elevated well into 2024 with fewer projected cuts.Market reactions included the USD rising +20 bps vs the NZD, the UST 10yr benchmark was little-changed having fully priced in the outcome, it seems. Equities (the S&P500) fell -0.3%. So overall, markets have taken this review in its stride.Somewhat surprisingly, American mortgage applications jumped +5.4% last week, the first rise in three weeks, and the biggest since mid-June. And this was despite benchmark mortgage interest rates rising again, to 7.31% plus points.In Japan, household assets are growing, and in a different way to the usual cash-priority they have had traditionally. Total financial assets rose +4.6% in the year to June and to US$14.3 tln (NZ$195,000 per capita). But the cash portion only rose +1.4% (or 53% of them), while equity holding jumped +26% (to 13% of those overall holdings) and funds in investment trusts rose +16%. The re-emergence of inflation is changing Japanese household investment motivations.After a good surge in 2021 and 2022, Japanese exports slipped -0.8% in August from a year ago, a second month of no expansion. Their exports to China dropped -11%. But at least overall they are holding on to their earlier gains. And the August slip was less than feared. Imports however fell more than expected, the most in three years. But most of this can be attributed to big falls in oil products (-33%), and it is encouraging that Japan is learning how to do with significantly less oil.Taiwanese export orders fell -15.7% in August from year-ago levels, although they held at the value levels we have seen every month this year. Still the year-on-year fall was more than expected and extends the retreat to 12 straight months.China held its Loan Prime rates in its monthly review yesterday. This is what analysts expected.

Their PPI tumbled -12.6% in August from a year ago, matching market forecasts while very much faster than the -6.0% July retreat.

Nationally, housing starts by their major builders slumped -23% last year to a decade-low as insolvencies soared.

In this week's episode, Vishal Goyal from UBS Securities discusses the significance of credit costs and their impact on the banking sector and how Indian banks are faring among their APAC peers. The discussion takes a look at the fact that credit cost is the primary factor influencing the valuation of banks and can lead to substantial value destruction. By examining stocks where credit costs have remained high for an extended period, it is indicative that shareholder value has significantly suffered. On the other hand, banks that have excelled in managing credit quality, particularly in credit card portfolios, have experienced compounding benefits over time. Regarding the current cycle, Goyal acknowledges that it may be unique due to the unprecedented plateauing or decline in credit costs. However, he suggests that there is often calm before another round of turbulence. The presence of uncertainties is felt around Goyal breaks the current banking cycle down into distinct periods, such as stage one, stage two, and stage three. The cleansing period, or stage three, involves banks recognizing stress and creating credit costs. Subsequently, credit costs gradually decline, falling below or near average levels, leading to stage two, which presents the most lucrative opportunities for profit.

The US Supreme Court is set to clarify the burden-shifting framework for whistleblowers in a case involving a former UBS Securities research strategist. The case hinges on whether the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires whistleblowers to show that their former employer fired them with retaliatory intent or if it is sufficient to prove that the protected disclosure was a contributing factor to the decision. Requiring proof of retaliatory intent would make it almost impossible for whistleblowers to pursue Sarbanes-Oxley retaliation claims, and the Supreme Court is expected to undercut the legal safeguards for corporate whistleblowers if it upholds the decision. The Tenth, Ninth, Fifth, and Fourth circuits instead have applied the contributing factor test. The decision could have a domino effect on anti-retaliation protections for corporate whistleblowers in other industries. The case could also impact federal whistleblower protection statutes that have virtually identical legal burdens, and there are concerns that the decision could reduce the number of whistleblower cases that otherwise would've survived the summary judgment stage or resulted in a verdict after trial.UBS Whistleblower Case Creates Avenue to Upend Retaliation TestSenators Richard Blumenthal and Ron Johnson are investigating KPMG's relationship with three recently failed banks, requesting a wide range of documents as part of their initial inquiry. The senators have requested "all communications," records related to the firm's audits and advisory work, and a complete list of all advisory work between KPMG and Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank, and First Republic Bank. The inquiry comes as part of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. KPMG has faced scrutiny for issuing clean audits of all three banks shortly before they collapsed. The senators have also asked KPMG for "all documentation" detailing the firm's policies and practices for any non-audit services, as well as "a complete list" of the firm's employees, contractors, and subcontractors employed by any of the banks after their affiliation with KPMG. They have requested the firm to send the documents as they become available to expedite the subcommittee's review. KPMG has not yet provided a comment on the investigation.Big Minimum Competence fans will remember this was a subject I covered in a past column and corresponding Column Tuesday segment. I argued on April 4th that the recent collapses of Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank, and the near miss at First Republic Bank, all point to the culpability of the Big Four accounting firms that had signed off on the banks' financial statements. I metaphorized the legal concept in torts called res ipsa loquitur, which means "the thing speaks for itself" in Latin, and suggested that something is amiss in the audit opinions provided by KPMG on these banks' fundamentals. The revolving door of personnel between accounting firms and the banks they purport to audit is also part of the problem. Banks with high average deposits and relatively few depositors are especially at risk, as they may be vulnerable to losing their deposit base if there are potential risks in their books. My conclusion was there needs to be liability placed on the accounting firm tasked with acting on behalf of a regulator when that organization fails to identify indicia of questionable financial health. Moreover, consultants who work for accounting firms should not wear auditor hats. It seems there may be some political will to make one or both of those solutions a reality. Senators Open Probe Into KPMG's Relationships With Failed BanksBig Four Auditors and Consultants Need Liability—And a DivorceAnd remember when we reported on Lewis Brisbois having a 100+ attorney walk-out? Well, the founding partner the firm, Robert Lewis, has stepped down from his role as chairman after the departure of at least 110 lawyers to a new firm this week. Lewis helped start the Los Angeles-founded firm in 1979, which has grown to around 1,700 lawyers. Lewis Brisbois will dissolve its executive committee effective immediately, and a newly expanded 13-member management committee will oversee the firm. The firm will hold elections on May 9 to add five new members to the management committee, which will then name a managing partner and other top leaders.Lewis Brisbois chair, executive committee are out after lawyer exodus | ReutersFour members of the Proud Boys far-right militia group, including its former leader Enrique Tarrio, have been convicted of seditious conspiracy, which is kind of like treason's little brother and entails a plot to oppose the government with force, under a Civil War-era law. The conviction carries a sentence of up to 20 years in prison. The jury found they had plotted to attack the US Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, in a failed bid to block Congress from certifying President Joe Biden's election victory. The verdicts after a trial lasting nearly four months in federal court in Washington were another victory for the US Justice Department, which Attorney General Merrick Garland said has secured the convictions of more than 600 people related to the Capitol rampage by supporters of then-President Donald Trump. The rampage occurred on the day when Congress was voting on formally certifying Biden's victory in the November 2020 election, with rioters attacking police with a variety of weapons. Five people including a police officer died during or shortly after the riot. More than 140 police officers were injured.Jury convicts Proud Boys members of seditious conspiracy in US Capitol attack | Reuters Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

Kevin is currently the CIO of Canadian Net REIT. Before graduating from Concordia in 2017, he completed three internships at UBS Securities, Novacap and RBC Capital Markets.

Analysts at UBS Securities recently said that it is difficult for funds to flow into the Chinese stock market due to factors such as the U.S. Federal Reserve’s interest rate hikes and Beijing’s “zero-COVID” policy. Moreover, A-shares and Chinese stocks listed in Hong Kong are under pressure due to foreign capital withdrawal. Meng Lei, a […]

Bond market investors were in for a rude shock as the Union Budget pegged the budgeted gross market borrowing number for the next fiscal at Rs 14.95 trillion.   Net borrowing, meanwhile, will be Rs 11.19 trillion in 2022-23, as against Rs 7.76 trillion in this fiscal. This higher-than-expected government borrowing pushed yields on 10-year government bond to nearly 6.9 yesterday, rising to their highest level in nearly two years. The yields had risen over 2% on Tuesday and half a per cent yesterday.   Even though bond dealers pointed out that the budget documents may not have accounted for the switch with the Reserve Bank of India done on the eve of the Budget, which should lower the gross and net borrowing for the next fiscal by at least Rs 63,648 crore.   Still, the numbers are much higher than the market expectations that ranged from Rs 10 trillion to Rs 13 trillion. We spoke to Joydep Sen, an independent debt market analyst, to understand if there's more to the yield spike than the govt's borrowing plan. He said:  Higher fiscal deficit, govt borrowing implies more bond supply This can push interest rates up Budget's silence on Global Bond indices has unnerved markets FM's categorical decline on the same also soured bond market mood   Markets were expecting some policy statement on inclusion of India's sovereign bonds in global bond indices. A green flag to the move could have led to an inflow of roughly around $20-40 billion per year, according to analysts' estimates, and would have provided the much-needed demand support for G-Securities.   What's also worrying investors is that the high borrowing number will also put the RBI's actions in spotlight as it juggles between the role of a monetary authority and banker to the government.   The bond yields have pushed up sharply already in response to RBI's liquidity withdrawal. And now, as no new avenue for foreign investors were announced in the budget, the yields could zoom further. UBS Securities, for instance, sees the 10-year bond yield at 7.5%, which will be negative for valuations of stocks. Those at HSBC, meanwhile, are mildly bearish on India government securities amid forecasts of higher yields. In a post-Budget report, the brokerage said: “In our view, it will be difficult for the market to absorb such massive supply in the absence of support from the RBI and a time when banks may not have as much appetite for holding government bonds given normalising liquidity conditions and the improving economy. Therefore, we raise our forecasts for 10-year G-sec yields to 7.5% by Q2CY22 and 7.8% by the end of Q4CY22”   From equities' perspective, analysts are divided on the impact of such sharp yield movement on them. According to UBS, the feedthrough of fiscal math into bond yields could be negative for equity valuations, which remain expensive despite recent sell-off.   But Joydeep Sen believes, since Indian equities never had a pronounced relationship with bonds, the impact may be limited. He said: “Correlation between bonds, equities are not pronounced in India. Distinct factors drive Indian equities. Global factors can affect equities going forward.”   Against this backdrop, bond yield movements will be a key trigger for markets today. That apart, weekly F&O expiry, December quarter results, Services PMI data, and global cues will be the other indicators. Watch video

In 2020, the world came to a shrieking halt. Empty airports, deserted roads, and grounded airplanes were the story of 2020 and the beginning of 2021. Now, as COVID vaccines become more available, we echo the commonly asked question by children: Are we there yet? Countries are making moves toward reopening, and European airlines are beginning to see large upticks in summer ticket sales. Should the travel industry begin to cheer, or is it a little too soon to call this a ‘win’?  Altamar hosts Peter Schechter and Muni Jensen are joined by Céline Fornaro, Head of the European Industrials team at UBS Securities, to understand the changing nature of travel. Altamar’s new segment, ‘Téa’s Take’ by Téa Ivanovic, takes a deeper look into ‘responsible travel’ and the new social trend of ‘travel shaming’ among younger generations.

The Indian markets look set for a tepid opening today, with the SGX Nifty indicating a nearly 90 points decline at open from Nifty Futures' last close. This comes on the back of weak global cues as investors remained concerned about the strength of the recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic. Overnight, the US Federal Reserve pledged to hold interest rates near zero until at least 2023. The Fed said it would keep interest rates near zero until inflation is on track to “moderately exceed” the central bank’s 2 per cent inflation target “for some time,” with the aim of offsetting years of weak inflation and allowing the economy to add jobs for as long as possible. US shares rose with the Fed’s statement but then reversed gains as Fed Chairman Jerome Powell said the pace of the ongoing economic recovery is expected to slow. Overall, the S&P 500 fell 0.46 per cent and the Nasdaq dropped 1.25 per cent. Asian indices picked Wall Street's weak lead and were trading lower in Thursday's early deals. Australian ASX 200 and Japan's Nikkei lost 0.7 per cent, while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index dipped 1 per cent..The Bank of Japan and the Bank of England will announce their respective policy decisions later in the day. Back home, investors can expect the session to remain volatile, with it being the weekly expiry day. Apart from this, investors might focus on stock-specific developments. They will also track defence minister's Rajnath Singh statement in the Rajya Sabha today on the India-China border issue. On the Covid front, India has crossed the 51-lakh mark in terms of cases while the death toll has risen to 83,230, according to Worldometer. A big focus in today's session will be the stock market debut of IT services firm Happiest Minds Technologies. The Rs 702-crore IPO last week garnered massive response from investors as it was subscribed 151 times. And now a quick look at some other top news. UBS Securities on Wednesday pegged India's GDP contraction at 8.6 per cent for FY21 as against its earlier prediction of 5.8 per cent. It said the country's potential rate of growth has also come down to 5.75-6.25 per cent as per its estimate as against 7.1 per cent, driven by factors including the weak government response to arrest the growth slide. Indian lenders are keenly watching the outcome of a petition filed by State Bank of India in the Supreme Court, which invoked the personal guarantees of Anil Ambani. The SC will hear the petition today. The Tata Group companies might trade actively today after reports emerged saying that the group's industrial infrastructure firm Tata Projects is likely to bag the government’s ambitious Parliament redevelopment project.
