Ejerskab i selskaber styres i stigende grad af algoritmer og indeksvægtning

Anerkendt aktionæraktivist Robert Monks i tale ved årsmøde hos ICGN: Ejerskab af børsnoterede selskaber i stigende grad styret af aktieindeks og algoritmevalg: “What’s more, ownership increasingly is represented by index and algorithm selection in which human decisions as to purchase and sale of particular companies have no relevance. As one might expect, drone corporations on the whole pay fewer taxes, incur larger criminal fines, reward their CEOs with higher compensation, and externalize more liabilities on to society than do corporations having effective owners. That latter point, by the way, includes externalizing onto shareholders fines sometimes in the billions of dollars imposed in civil actions undertaken as the direct result of management actions.”
