About The Summit: Recovery Risks & Returns:
A Summit on Corporate Governance for Institutional Investors is designed for pension funds, hedge fund activists and select fund managers seeking to address risk and enhance long term value through governance based solutions.

From 2007 forward, investors have experienced unprecedented losses and have begun to ask the important questions on how to best approach risk and its role in creating long term shareholder value.

As Wall Street emerges from the Great Recession, how will institutional investors create value through corporate governance?
