Implementing the Shareholder Rights Directive in the UK
For UK-based managers of investment portfolios that are permitted to invest in exchange traded equity securities, the transposition of the second Shareholder Rights Directive will bring some additional disclosure and other requirements for both the manager and the issuers.
AIMA and Simmons and Simmons invite you to join them on Friday, 21 June 2019 for a panel discussion of how the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) have chosen to implement the directive and what this will affect managers' operations.
The panel will explore challenges arising from, and strategies for dealing with, the directive's proxy voting and engagement disclosures and its requirements for ESG policies and disclosures.
