I stumbled on an interesting series of videos from the Investment Company Institute, which bills itself as “a leading global association of regulated funds, including mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), closed-end funds, and unit investment trusts (UITs) in the United States and similar funds offered to investors in jurisdictions worldwide.”
Of course these funds have a tremendous impact on corporate governance. As one of the primary industry voices for the financial sector, the Investment Company Institute has tremendous clout, so these videos are well worth monitoring for anyone interested in corporate governance developments.
Below are just a few examples to whet your appetite.
