Improving Hedge Fund Industry Corporate Governance
Tuesday, May 26, 2009 : PermalinkSeeking Alpha – I saw today a very interesting article in the FT about the discussion going on at the SEC about a rule allowing US investors to nominate company directors. Companies at present nominate their own directors. Shareholders have the right to vote, but not to nominate any directors, except through a difficult process that requires them to mail shareholders at their own expense. The new rule would allow large shareholders such as pension funds to nominate up to a quarter of a company’s board members.
