PRI and SHARE Event – Investing to Address Income Inequality

October 24, 2018 - October 24, 2018
The PRI, SHARE and The Investment Integration Project (TIIP) will co-host this breakfast roundtable on how investors can address and respond to income inequality.The event will support the launch of the forthcoming TIIP and PRI publication Income Inequality: A Challenge for Investors. The report demonstrates the potential risks of income inequality to investors — particularly to long-term investment performance and the overall stability of societal systems and financial markets — and offers practical insights on how investors can reasonably begin to contend with such a complex and daunting challenge.

Although the causes of income inequality are many, the report focuses on three themes most well-suited for investor action:

  1. employee relations and the labor market,
  2. corporate tax policies and practices,
  3. and CEO compensation.

Presentations at the event will situate the topic in the context of broader changes within capital markets, unpack key findings from the research, and a panel will discuss what actions investors can take to address income inequality in their investment and stewardship policies and practices.
