Lance Zinman, Katten Muchin Rosenman, SEC Hedge Fund Marketing Rule
Lance Zinman is a law partner at Katten Muchin Rosenman and head of the firm’s Chicago financial services practice. He regularly advises hedge funds, commodity pools, commodity trading advisors and proprietary trading firms on compliance and regulatory matters. He sat down with former John Lothian News Editor-at-Large Doug Ashburn to discuss the SEC rule on private fund solicitation, released July 10, 2013. In the interview, Zinman cuts through the misinformation and explains the key points of the rules. He also explains how the 506 exemption may not be claimed by anyone with a “disqualifying event” and other limitations. He also highlights a few areas in which the rule is unclear or needs to be harmonized with other regulators such as the CFTC. 
According to Zinman, it remains to be seen whether this rule will truly usher in a new wave of marketing on behalf of hedge funds and other private funds.

Zinman holds a Bachelor of Arts degree with high honors in business administration – prelaw from the Honors College of Michigan State University. He also holds a juris doctor cum laude from Northwestern University School of Law. He is admitted to practice in Illinois.

Lanre Sarumi

__NOTOC__ 
Lanre Sarumi is the CEO of Riskbone LLC, a real time risk management and quantitative analytics software firm.
He is also the CEO of Leveltradingfield LLC, a free online financial platform he started in 2016 with real time news from hundreds of sources, historic charts, instant messaging, and event driven analysis. 
== Background ==
Before Riskbone, Sarumi worked in senior management roles in several firms in the U.S., Canada and the United Kingdom. He was also a trader and Director of IT at Traditum, a proprietary trading firm in Chicago. Before Traditum, he founded OhmsRazor, an ultra-secure online payment platform. Before OhmsRazor, Sarumi served as an IT manager at Citadel Investment Group where he led teams that developed several back office and middle office systems.
== Education ==
Sarumi holds an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University, and a B.Eng, Electrical/Electronic Engineering, from UCL, University of London, UK.
== MarketsWiki Education, Chicago 2016 ==
“It turned out that what I was good at became what I was doing.”
Lanre Sarumi entered the financial markets for one reason alone – he wanted to be a trader – yet he struggled to find a bank or trading group willing to hire him as one. He eventually took a job as a systems developer at Citadel Investment Group, where he led teams that designed risk solutions for the back and middle office. Though he was great at building risk solutions, his heart was in trading, so every time there was an opportunity to move into a trading position, he would take it.
Unfortunately, trading was not Sarumi’s strong suit. Though he had some successes, he also had a number of setbacks. On more than one occasion, his manager would call him into the office and say, “I know you want to be a trader, but what we really need is for you to take a look at our risk management software.”
Eventually, Sarumi got the message. He now runs his own risk management and quantitative analytics firm. The message? While there is nothing wrong with following your heart, sometimes your best opportunities in life lie with your greatest proficiencies.
==Video==
With the launch of the first bitcoin futures only a couple of days away, JLN asked Lanre Sarumi, the CEO of the quantitative analytics software firm Riskbone as well as CEO of Level Trading Field, a free online financial news and analytics platform, what traders should know before taking the plunge into this very new product. Sarumi spoke about who will be trading the fledgling futures and why, the differences between the proposed contracts at Cboe, CME and Nasdaq, and some strategies traders might use to make the most of the current bitcoin mania.

Large cap

A large cap stock is one which is tied to a company that has a high market capitalization. Often, the gauge of a large cap is if the company has over $5 billion in capitalization. Other categories are $1 billion to $5 billion for mid caps and $250 million to $1 billion for small caps. The stock for a company with a capitalization of under $250 million is considered a micro cap stock.
Large-cap value funds seek capital appreciation by investing primarily in large companies with market capitalizations of $5 billion or more.

Eventually, GNI was sold to Man Financial in 2002. Arnowitz would exit Man after six months after clashing with Man's CEO Kevin Davis.
He then joined Introducing Broker TJM for about five years. After leaving TJM he set up his own trading office, Arnowitz Financial Services, and registered it as an Introducing Broker. He tried focusing on lesser traded products like hurricane futures or contracts on the Chicago Climate Exchange.
Arnowitz joined The Price Futures Group, Inc., an Introducing Broker, in 2011 where he was a colleague of John Lothian, founder of MarketsWiki.
