Abstract: | Insider trading causes uninformed agents to reduce their investments in assets that are most susceptible to it. This problem may be mitigated by forming a financial intermediary that issues securities with different sensitivity to inside information. In particular, the uninformed agents desire the intermediary's demand debt while the informed agents choose its equity. By separating the uninformed agents' financial payoffs from the intermediary's investment decisions, the intermediary can pursue more efficient investments and achieve allocations that are superior to those of the market. |
