The Coalition’s goal is to support boards of directors in achieving best governance practices. Our members want the companies they invest in to succeed.
The governance concerns of institutional investors have grown in recent years as pension funds, mutual funds and independent money managers acquired significant ownership positions in publicly traded corporations. Today, as much as one-third of the shares of Canada’s major corporations are owned by institutions managing the savings of Canadians. With this shift in corporate ownership, clearer expectations of how corporations should be governed have emerged.
As suppliers of corporate capital, Coalition members are dedicated shareholders. Being patient and supportive shareowners involves sharing the responsibility to work with boards in adopting progressive governance practices that are likely to enhance long-term investment returns and reduce governance risk.
