Join Morningstar’s Jackie Beard for a panel discussion on the challenges faced by an investment board at 1pm on 14 September 2011. This is particularly relevant in the current environment, with the ever-increasing burden upon non-executive directors as stewards of shareholder capital. The session will also look at why their role gives the fund a distinct advantage over its open-end counterparts and the different ways in which they can add value for shareholders.
Jackie would like to make sure this session addresses any concerns that you, our advisers, have, and to answer the questions that you want answered. So we invite you to post any questions on corporate governance of closed-end funds that you may have on the blog between now and 13 September. The panel really is an outstanding line up with
Scott Dobbie CBE; Gill Nott OBE; Hugh Aldous; Peter Arthur and James Saunders Watson. It’s not often one gets the chance to question such an esteemed group of people, so don’t miss this opportunity. While it’s unfair to single out individual panel members, Ms Nott’s OBE was for services to financial education and Mr Dobbie’s CBE for services to financial regulation.
