What We're Reading

It's hard to know where to start with this month's readings. Chief Justice Leo Strine, Larry Fink, Tim Cook, Moody's and others are all weighing in. Let the conversation begin!

Delaware Chief Justice Leo Strine, Jr. offers pragmatic suggestions to create "a more rational accountability system" for investors and companies in a just-published essay for the Columbia Law Review.
Apple CEO Tim Cook gave a vigorous defense of Apple's approach to business at the company's annual shareholder meeting.
In a recent letter, BlackRock CEO, Larry Fink implores the CEOs of all S&P 500 companies to consider the long term before deploying capital.
A new Moody's report warns that increased shareholder activism targeting cash at companies is leaving companies with more debt and lower credit ratings in the long term.
Tomorrow's Company has released their highly anticipated guide for long-term value creation, focused on pension fund trustees.
New recommendations for improving company-investor engagement have been released by Conference Board and the Shareholder-Director Exchange respectively.

As always, please let us know of anything you think we should be reading.

Best regards,
