The Institute for Ethics in Government (IEG) is pleased to welcome members of the U.S. Department of the Interior’s ethics office, Ed Bowen, Kelsey Gaddy, and Michael Gleason, for a presentation on “Understanding Sector Funds.”
Presenters will discuss the ethics issues arising when federal employees own mutual funds. They will also discuss what a sector fund is, how to identify a sector fund, and how to apply 18 U.S.C. 208 exemptions to sector fund holdings.
Afterwards, they will take questions.
