The role of fund and asset managers is rapidly evolving and as part of your fiduciary obligations you are expected to be increasingly proactive in monitoring and responding to opportunities to secure meaningful recoveries for your clients where the value of their investments have been wrongfully damaged.  In addition, as part of your on-going fiduciary obligations you need to ensure that companies are fully accountable to shareholders for their actions by driving corporate governance reform where malfeasance or negligence leads to significant losses. 

It is estimated that Northern European pension schemes lost more than €450 billion at the height of the financial markets crisis in 2008*, however around  a quarter of Northern European pension schemes are still not participating in available class action cases*.  A failure to engage in class actions can leave billions in unclaimed settlements, compromise both portfolio returns and the ability to fulfil fiduciary responsibilities to investors, by benefiting more active members of the class.

C5 have designed an exclusive programme for you to help ensure that you are fully informed of the array of options available and the mechanisms to facilitate class, collective and representative class actions both in Europe and around the world.  Our expert speaker faculty comprising of pension funds active in class actions, lawyers who have worked on some of the landmark cases and claims experts will share their extensive knowledge of tactics and strategies.

The past year has brought significant developments in Europe with the record £3.5 billion shareholder action against RBS just one of the cases making the headlines.  With securities class action lawsuits expected to grow even larger and more complex in the years ahead, it is imperative that you understand and put in place the right framework to manage the risks and maximise the opportunities.  By attending this conference you will be able to make informed strategic decisions on exercising your legal rights, to help secure recoveries for your clients.
