Speakers detailed expectations for year three of the proxy access campaign, the possible impacts of the U.S. presidential elections on ESG initiatives, the expected rise in the say-on-pay ballot workload, and potential targets of hedge fund activism and “vote no” campaigns.

• Cristiano Guerra, Head of Special Situations Research
