One Allocator’s Message To Congress

Since July is ESG month with myriad ESG bills before Congress, Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-CA), the top Democrat on the House Financial Services Committee, hosted a roundtable this afternoon to discuss the importance of empowering shareholders and stakeholders to better engage companies that they invest in, the importance of the SEC’s climate risk disclosure rule, the need to advance other ESG disclosures, and the importance of protecting the independence of (and promoting competition among) the proxy advisors.

It is a privilege to have been invited to contribute to the Roundtable on Empowering Shareholders and Stakeholders and the Importance of ESG Disclosures by sharing our work and my research. Please find my opening statement below.
