As originally recommended by the Kay Review, a new Investor Forum was established in October 2014, following specific recommendations from the Collective Engagement Working Group (established in connection with the Kay Review). The Forum has issued a discussion paper outlining its four main focus points, namely:
- Encouragement of debate around long-term investment strategies;
- Provision of advice to investors and boards;
- Collective engagement in circumstances in which shareholders feel a company is losing its competitive edge; and
- Protection of investor rights
The discussion paper is available at: http://www.investorforum.org.uk/#!discussion-paper/cm65 .
The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.
