## Every claim under this term

2 claims across 2 works, 2012 to 2013.

**2012**

- [1998455-035](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/1998455-035) [empirical/argued] -- Treating the price of contingent capital securities as an indicator of how much people care about market integrity and moral hazard would require altruistic motives on the part of purchasers, and the author doubts this: the nascent market appears to have been built on investors' expectation of above average returns.
  > This would imply, however, altruistic motives of CCS purchasers. It is unclear if altruism in CCS purchases would be realistic. The nascent market in CCS seems to have been built on investors' expectation of above- average returns.

**2013**

- [2348463-033](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/2348463-033) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- Because systemic risk disclosures are far more generic and are not tailored to any specific distressed investment, importing them into bankruptcy would improve only marginally the information available about the motives of distressed securities investors.
  > Hence, with regard to disclosure of possible motives of hedge fund investors in bankruptcy, systemic risk disclosures in the bankruptcy context would only marginally improve the availability of relevant information pertaining to possible motives of distressed securities investors.
