The Bond Buyer’s 34th Annual California Public Finance Conference
The Pursuit of Fair and Efficient Pricing
Wednesday, October 23, 2024
Marriott Marquis
780 Mission Street
San Francisco, CA 94103
Registration | Agenda
Municipal issuers are called to achieve the objectives of their plan of finance at the lowest possible borrowing cost. Achieving this goal requires the pricing and sale of securities into a fair and efficient market, yet the US municipal securities market is characterized as illiquid, opaque, and asymmetric. This program will examine the empirical evidence of new issuance pricing inequities and explore new opportunities for overcoming the market inefficiencies. It will also present the legal and regulatory guardrails that were designed to establish expectations within the financing team for how a fair, transparent, and suitable process ought to unfold. Lastly, experienced issuers, municipal advisors, and underwriters will provide insight from their respective sides of the table on the practices they have employed to achieve fair and equitable pricing outcomes.
