Statement On Universal Proxy Ballots, SEC Commissioner Allison Herren Lee, Nov. 17, 2021

Date 17/11/2021

Electing corporate directors is perhaps the most critical function of shareholders in our system of corporate democracy. Corporations are owned by shareholders, but managed and overseen by boards of directors. Thus, it is the shareholders – the owners – that decide whom to entrust to oversee their capital. This is the integral construct of American corporations. The amendments the Commission is voting on today will help ensure that shareholders voting by proxy can freely choose between and among all qualified candidates for the board – and are not limited to choosing the entire slate put forth by one side or the other.

Too Important To Regulate? Rolling Back Investor Protections On Proxy Voting Advice, SEC Commissioner Elad L. Roisman, Nov. 17, 2021

Date 17/11/2021

Over the past several years, much has been said about what the rise in fund ownership throughout our equity markets might mean for our economy. But one outcome of increasing fund growth is clear: as funds come to own an ever larger percentage of U.S. corporate equities, they can influence the outcome of a variety of matters that companies submit to a shareholder vote.

BIS: Non-Bank Financial Institutions And The Functioning Of Government Bond Markets

Date 17/11/2021

The structure of market making in government bond markets has shifted from a bank-centric model to a hybrid one in which non-bank financial institutions, notably principal trading firms and hedge funds, play an important role alongside banks. This shift has occurred in several countries and, while farthest advanced in liquid segments, is also evident in less liquid segments. The turmoil in March 2020 highlighted structural vulnerabilities arising from the hybrid model and the procyclical behaviour of some non-bank financial institutions. Proposals for improving the resilience of liquidity in government bond markets aim to reduce demand for liquidity during stress episodes, increase intermediation capacity and improve the efficiency of intermediation.
