A New Take on Voice: The Influence of BlackRock’s “Dear CEO” Letters
Presented by Andrea Pawliczek, University of Missouri
Engagement is a common means through which investors seek to influence the behavior of portfolio firms. While much of this engagement takes place in private, Professor Andrea Pawliczek, from the University of Missouri, considers the effects of another form of engagement, broad-based public engagement. She cites BlackRock’s annual “Dear CEO” letter, which in recent years has called for portfolio firms to acknowledge and quantify the impact of environmental and regulatory factors on their firms. In the post-letter period, she finds that portfolio firms’ disclosures reflect topics similar to those discussed in BlackRock’s letters.
