S.E.C. Adopts New Rules For Analysts

Date: 09 May 2002

By STEPHEN LABATON

Stephen LABATON

Securities and Exchange Commission approves new ethics rules for stock analysts as its chairman Harvey L Pitt faces growing calls to step down for being insensitive to his own conflicts of interest and for undermining public confidence in markets; unanimously approves analyst rules proposed by New York Stock Exchange and National Association of Securities Dealers; rules are applauded by some of Wall Street's largest firms; Securities Industry Association calls them tough and necessary for maintaining trust, but says they will be onerous for smaller firms; some Democrats, institutional investors and consumer groups complain that rules are tardy and tepid and are intended by industry cheerleaders to head off more stringent proposals for ban on allowing analysts to work on merger and underwriting busines for clients of their investment banks; Senate Banking Committee chairman Paul S Sarbanes circulates draft of comprehensive legislation that would impose significant new regulator requirements on accountants and corporate executives and would go further than SEC in curtailing analyst conflicts of interest by protecting analysts from retaliation for making unfavorable stock recommendations; Democratic Reps John J LaFalce and Edward J Markey issue separate statements saying regulations do not go far enough to curtail abuses that have been uncovered by New York State investigators; New York State Atty Gen Eliot L Spitzer calls new rules inadequate; editorials in Wall Street Journal and Financial Times strongly suggest that Pitt step aside for repeatedly being insensitive to appearance of possible ethical breaches; photo (M)
