WFI Annual Meeting 2012 – Lubljana, Slovenia

September 20-21, 2012

More than 30 people attended WFI's Annual Meeting, Executive Committee, and Advocacy Committee meetings on September 20-21. The new WFI Member Directory was distributed to members in attendance. Members unanimously approved the Education Curriculum and the Advocacy Committee Charter. Based on experiences among member organizations, it appears that the education program should focus on basic investor literacy.
Panel discussion topics included: Revitalizing EU capital markets (through pensions and other reforms); education and protection of financial services user; the Euro and Eurobonds in the global context - the role and perspective of banks and financial systems; barriers to shareholders engagement - report on cross-border proxy voting (Eurovote 2012); and best practices for cross-border investments - why and where to invest.
