Glenn Davis is Director of Research at the Council of Institutional Investors. This post is based on a CII publication by Mr. Davis.
This post summarizes and paraphrases comments shared at a roundtable on executive compensation that CII organized on Jan. 9, 2018, in Denver, CO. Participants included representatives of asset owners, asset managers, employee unions, corporations and think tanks. By design, investor representatives constituted a significant majority of roundtable participants, while executive compensation consultants and proxy advisors were not represented. A full participant list is provided at the bottom of the post.
The roundtable was conducted under rules that encourage participants to speak freely, with no attribution to them or their affiliated organizations. Views conveyed in this report do not necessarily represent the views of employers of roundtable participants, CII, its board members or staff. CII Research Director Glenn Davis organized the roundtable, and edited remarks for use in this report
