Regulation FD

When Regulation FD went into effect, it effectively ended the confidential relationship management of public companies had with select institutions and individuals. Previously, company management could meet with analysts/institutional heavy weights and confidentially provide them with detailed financial information about their company, increasing the accuracy of the research. However, Regulation FD decided this practice was insider trading, because the analyst acted on insider information when issuing reports. Since Regulation FD, research analysts cannot receive any information from company management that management does not also make public, ending the days of confidential meetings between analysts and company management.
