selective disclosure Definition

selective disclosure

Definition

When a public company discloses material information to a selected group of people, usually analysts and institutional investors, before making the information known to the public. This practice creates the opportunity for a form of insider trading and also creates conflicts of interest for securities analysts. In 2000, the SEC adopted Regulation FD to end the practice of selective disclosure.
