Craig Lewis, a finance professor at the Owen Graduate School of
Management at Vanderbilt University. The proposal, which would
apply to mutual funds, ETFs, closed-end funds and other entities,
would limit funds' use of derivatives and require risk
management measures designed to better protect investors.
