Saint Mary's College Presents: BlackRock's Insight Into Corporate Governance & Responsible Investment

BlackRock, one of the world's leading investment, advisory and risk management services, has $3.345 trillion in assets under management (September 2011). BlackRock’s Corporate Governance and Responsible Investment team will be on hand at Saint Mary's College to such questions as:

  • What does responsible investment mean for corporations with which BlackRock’s team engages?
  • How does BlackRock view and use the proxy voting mechanism to effect change?
  • What is ‘good governance’? How does it apply to emerging markets? To advanced markets?
  • What’s the relation between good governance and firm performance (economic, financial, environmental and social)?
  • What is BlackRock’s role in the larger responsible investment and corporate governance space?
