The rights and responsibilities of shareholders have never been more important than at the moment in the midst of this financial crisis and are at the forefront of investors’ minds. While there have been signs of hope for a recovery, it is hard to argue that the financial system continues to be in a state of turmoil—action needs to be taken by institutional investors not only to assist in the recovery, but also to prevent a repeat of recent events.

Could the meltdown of the financial system have been avoided—or even mitigated— by more active participation by shareholders?

Where does the issue of executive compensation go from here?

For the fifth year, Institutional Investor and our co-host, Barroway Topaz Kessler Meltzer & Check, LLP, are developing a private meeting for senior executives and compliance, corporate governance and legal professionals at pension funds, mutual fund managers, insurance firms, as well as leading asset management firms from around the world.

With the central theme of the programme being shareholders’ rights and responsibili- ties, we will explore all different aspects of this area. Using case studies and expert debates we ensure the programme is lively and importantly interactive, allowing you and your colleagues to truly debate and consider these important issues.

The one day programme will also discuss active ownership and corporate governance issues in detail. The emphasis is on learning and exchanging ideas making this event entirely educational for those who attend.

We have also arranged former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair as our keynote speaker—a session not to be missed!

Only qualified representatives can be registered to attend this meeting, but there is no fee for those who attend.
