A new report on 'Engagement between investors and public companies: Impediments and their resolution' addresses the question of stewardship (thoughtful ownership and corporate governance) in the UK and the European Union, after the financial crisis.
Sponsored by the CFA Institute and the FGRE and with contributions from CEPS and ECMI (Karel Lannoo and Diego Valiante), this report considers the potential inadequacy of stewardship by the investment industry and the degree of integration of corporate governance analysis in the investment process.
Participation in this event is free of charge for CEPS and ECMI members, non-members may be admitted for €50, paid in cash at registration. A sandwich lunch (€6) will be served before the meeting, from 12.45 onwards.
