Connie Erlanger, co-Managing Principal of Marketcore said, "Marketcore was pleased to be asked by the editor of the CPCU Society's Regulatory & Legislative Interest Group Newsletter to contribute our views on the role of appropriate disclosures in managing risk. Our patented methodology facilitates disclosures in financial contracts to assure proper market function, including markets for even the most complex instruments and their derivative products. By creating a dynamic, near- or real-time electronic environment, we can fully identify, describe, track and regulate risks across the full life cycle of a contract, enabling risk detection early on, whether specific or systemic. Our market-neutral invention provides direct economic or strategic benefits to market participants using a process that always results in lower costs. This process delivers operating efficiencies that improve the function of financial markets through increasingly granular risk identification. The CPCU editorial statements linking our work to such diverse interests as the proposed National Institute of Finance, the proposed New York Insurance Exchange or the recently enacted Insurance Exchanges envisioned by Health Care Reform speak directly to the range of applications of our system across financial markets."

Matthew B. Schoen, founder and president of MB Schoen & Associates, Inc. (MBSA) said, "As principal of an insurance consultancy focused on product placement and administrative services, I think that there is nothing inherently sinister about companies guarding their information, including information which may be vital to regulators overseeing market and systemic risk. Therefore, in a time when certain information (e.g., mortgage underwriting standards) must be readily available for regulators to detect emerging systemic risk, a fundamental question presents itself: In a constantly evolving world, how do you assure that such information will continue to be shared in timely fashion without imposing draconian regulations? Marketcore has devised a market-based solution in which market participants provide economic incentives so that no matter what new risks or products come to dominate financial markets, information will be continuously shared, improving transparency, increasing liquidity, decreasing volatility and allowing regulators to spot systemic risks as early as possible."
