The Squam Lake Group
The Squam Lake Group is a non-partisan, non-affiliated group of academics who offer guidance on the reform of financial regulation.
Our group's first meeting was at New Hampshire's Squam Lake in fall 2008, amidst the deepening capital-markets crisis. Although informed by this crisis — its events and the ongoing policy responses — the group is intentionally focused on longer-term issues. We aspire to help guide reform of capital markets—their structure, function, and regulation. We base this guidance on the group’s collective academic, private sector, and public policy experience.
