Nasdaq Lunch and Learn: Active Replacing Passive & The Evolution of the Activist Mindset

Tuesday, June 12, 2018 | 12:15PM - 1:15PM | Room: Margaux 1  |   Lunch and Learn

 |  Daniel Romito | Janine Guillot | Simon Mays-Smith |

The evolution of index investors is altering the activist landscape. Index money can no longer be grouped with the quants and other passive styles. Instead, corporates must adopt the new paradigm that seems to be guiding index investors and categorize ESG as a distinct form of shareholder activism. Hear from our panel about how companies can successfully embrace this new paradigm.

Learning Objectives:

  • Gain understanding of the index community – index managers moving from passive to their own unique form of active management
  • How index investors, ESG and shareholder activism is converging
  • How to prepare and manage the influencers of index investors (i.e., proxy advisory firms)
