Understanding the evolving needs of long-term investors: University of Cambridge Study

We would like to invite you to participate in an exciting project conducted by the University of Cambridge with the support of BNY Mellon and other organizations such as the CFA Institute, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), The SEC Professional Group, and PRI, among others.

This independent study will survey three groups, Corporate Issuers, Asset Managers and Asset Owners, on the materiality of nonfinancial disclosures from both the corporate issuer and investor perspectives. This research is intended to identify possible gaps between information provided by corporate issuers and investors’ expectations and provide actionable insights for you.

Your views and your company’s practices around the disclosure of nonfinancial information will be essential to the project findings. The survey will take approximately 30 minutes to complete. You can enter the survey here.

In appreciation of your participation we will send you the report on the high-level survey results, expected to be published in 2Q2016.

We appreciate your time and thank you in advance for contributing to this important research.
