October 27, 20008: Conference of Fund Leaders
The Millstein Center for Corporate Governance and Performance at the Yale School of Management and the Mutual Fund Directors Forum have partnered with independent leaders of mutual fund boards of trustees to found the “Conference of Fund Leaders” (CFL), a permanent new body composed of independent board chairs and lead independent directors of mutual funds in the United States. The CFL provides a unique opportunity for the independent leaders of fund boards to come together with their peers to discuss governance issues that board leaders and their funds face; proactively present their views on policy matters important to fund investors and independent directors, regulators and lawmakers; and promote research into the value and impact of effective, independent leadership at mutual funds. The kick-off conference took place on October 27 in New York City.
