– Broc Romanek, CompensationStandards.com
With the SEC’s proxy advisor roundtable coming up in a few days on December 5th, the SEC just announced the agenda & panelists – and the debate over the role of those firms is reaching a fever pitch. In this podcast, Sarah Wilson, CEO of the UK’s Manifest, weighs in on the debate over proxy advisor regulation, including:
– What is Manifest? What is the proxy advisor market like in Europe?
– How are proxy advisors regulated right now in Europe?
– What is the proposed global set of best practices for proxy advisors?
– What do you think of the criticism of proxy advisors in the US?
This Laurel Hill piece gives a good summary of the debate.
