Institutional Investors, Risk/Return and Corporate Governance Failures:
Practical Lessons from the Global Financial Crisis Conference


The Elfenworks Center for the Study of Fiduciary Capitalism is dedicated to producing both academic and action oriented research that explores the implications of the rise of institutional investors as the dominant owners of equity and debt capital.

 The Center will provide a forum for bringing together practitioners, academics and other experts so that the boundaries and duties of fiduciary responsibility can be expanded to better enhance portfolio-wide, long-term performance.
