About this talk

The rise of passive investing has been one of the defining themes of asset management over the past decade. While this significant shift from active to passive investment has sparked wide-ranging research and commentary about its effects on the wider economy, it is time to assess how IR teams globally can have any impact on the decision-making process of a passive investor. We will explore how these index-based investors make decisions, how they perceive a company’s equity story and how an IR team can stand out in an increasingly data-driven world. We will explore the need for greater disclosure around corporate governance policy, board structure and sustainability policy in order to be included in indexes. • Understanding passive investment behavior: The decision-making process and impact on your stock • Importance of ESG: Engaging passive funds through governance channels to drive shareholder value and prevent activist situations • Resource check: Evaluating return on time invested in proactively targeting passive investors. How does this change how you work with active fund managers? • Stock up your toolkit: What skill-set should you be looking to add to your team to get proactive with passive? • Understanding the original thesis behind an index and understanding why your stock is, or isn’t, included in it IR Magazine has partnered with Q4 to deliver you this webinar.

Governance Intelligence is a digital content and events company, providing a forum where governance experts and service providers can share their experience, insights and best practice recommendations on a wide range of critical issues, from corruption, internal investigations, e-discovery and records management to succession planning, executive compensation, proxy actions and shareholder engagement.
