Risk and the shareholder

Author

  • Monks, Robert A. G.

Abstract

The modern meaning of shareholder has morphed from an engaged owner to a passive provider of capital. Should rights afforded to such passive capitalists be equal to those whose ownership engagement with a corporation is personal and direct? Without the involvement of active and engaged shareholders, the entire corporate system lacks its energising foundation and a very significant risk arises from the relative absence of the effective monitoring and supervising energy that those with ‘ownership’ interests are more likely to provide.
