The Role of ABI  Trade Association for Insurance Companies  As Institutional Investors - £1,000 billion (approx) of investments

The Locus of Shareholders  ownership interest  accountability of company boards

ABI Guidelines  cover a range of governance aspects  underpin institutional policy framework  examples: pre-emption and share schemes

The IVIS Monitoring Service 

The Impetus Towards Greater Activism  Investor pressure  Myners  Legislation (the threat of)  The “comply or explain” approach

Response to Impetus  Institutional Shareholders’ Committee paper  Enhanced programme of engagement (collectively through ABI)

ABI and Activism  the benefit of a collective approach  where there is a governance component  type and size of company

The Role of Activism  Not a substitute for market discipline but an adjunct  An investment style – but not for all  Not an objective in itself – rather, long-term shareholder value creation
