TUC Member Trustee Network annual conference
TUC Member Trustee Network annual conference
Tuesday 16 November 2010
The financial crisis has exposed pension funds to volatility and uncertainty. It has also highlighted the importance of effective engagement between investors and the companies in which they invest. What is the role of pension fund trustees in promoting investor engagement, and how does this fit with their fiduciary duties towards their members?
This conference aims to help trustees understand their responsibilities in these challenging times, and to assist them in navigating the regulatory, stewardship and investment issues that they face.
