Investor Forum appoints board members
03 Jul, 2014
The Investor Forum, the formation of which was announced in December 2013, has been formally launched with the appointment of Simon Fraser as Chairman and Andy Griffiths as Executive Director.
The formation of the Investor Forum was announced in December 2013 by The Collective Engagement Working Group, a group established by the Association of British Insurers (ABI), the Investment Management Association (IMA) and the National Association of Pension Funds (NAPF). The forum is intended to “promote shared commitment to long-term strategies and sustainable wealth creation among asset owners, asset managers and companies” and its creation was one of the recommendations of Professor Kay in his review of the UK equity market in 2012 (the “Kay Review”). The ‘Kay Review of UK Equity markets and long-term decision making’, published in July 2012, sought to address the issue of short-termism in the equity market.
