For over a decade, Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann LLP has hosted the Forum for Institutional Investors, an educational conference for the benefit of the institutional investor community. The premier event for fiduciaries, the Forum has long provided a unique learning and networking opportunity by putting representatives of public pension systems and other institutional investors from around the globe together with experts from finance, business, the law, academia, and the media, in a relaxed and collegial setting.
Among other vital issues affecting the institutional investor community, the Forum explores:
- The changing regulatory and legal landscapes that affect brokerage, banking and executive compensation practices, as well as institutional investors' holdings;
- How to protect the interests of public pension and institutional portfolios;
- How institutional investor activism generally, and governance aspects of socially responsible investing in particular, are effecting systemic change within corporate culture globally;
- Best practices for protecting portfolio assets against securities fraud.
Keynote speakers for past Forums include:
- General Colin Powell, USA (Ret), Former Secretary of State and Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff ;
- Arianna Huffington, Editor-in-chief of The Huffington Post;
- Ben Stein, economist, columnist, actor, and Emmy-winning TV host;
- former U.S. Senator Paul Sarbanes;
- former SEC Chairman Harvey Pitt;
- Pulitzer-prize winning New York Times financial columnist Gretchen Morgenson; and
- Former SEC Commissioner and Columbia Law Professor Harvey Goldschmid, among many others.
Webcast Series for Institutional Investors
Due to the recent economic downturn, a significant number of public pension funds and institutional investors have limited their budgets for educational activities and travel expenses. In response to this, BLB&G has foregone holding the Forum in a specific location and instead is providing educational content through its new “Webcast Series for Institutional Investors,”
a comprehensive
educational program
that features
prominent speakers
addressing current
topics in securities
and shareholder
litigation
throughout the year
in a live, online
format. We believe
this program best
responds to current
budgetary concerns
by allowing us to
provide a convenient
venue in which to
share new
developments of
importance regarding
shareholder rights,
corporate
governance,
securities fraud,
litigation and asset
recovery. To view
