The 21st Century Berle & Means Corporation: A Revolution in Retail Investing
To watch this past event, click play on the video below:
During the 20th Century, Berle & Means outlined the then predominant view of corporate governance framework that conceived of shareholders as widely diffused & disinterested.
Since that time, a number of developments in corporate investment have challenged this view of shareholders and the corporate governance implications that follow. In particular, the rise of institutional investors has caused a re-evaluation of corporate governance to accommodate a more co-ordinated and centralised form of shareholder power.
However, more recently, technological innovation and a change in generational perception in investment has facilitated the emergence of individual retail investors as a powerful force in corporate governance. This panel explores these developments from a number of different perspectives, including the recent GameStop investment rally, developments in equity crowdfunding and a general shift in investment perspective of millennials and Generation Z investors.
The panel will consider the following issues:
- How will generational characteristics of retail investors redefine the role of retail investors in corporate governance?
- How a shift to direct investing in the stock market will affect people’s investment plans and strategies?
- What are the main regulatory challenges and corporate governance obstacles associated with a modern approach to retail investment?
