The author analyzes the reasons for this passivity, pointing to conflicts of interest with respect to corporate governance activity in pension plans and also to limitations in corporate, securities, and pension law. He argues that plan members should be given a voice in pension plan governance and the plans made accountable, and he outlines the legal reforms necessary.Pension trustsInvestmentsSocial responsibility of businessInstitutional investmentsSocial aspectsCorporate governancePension trustsManagementInstitutional investorsRégimes privés de retraiteInvestissementsEntreprisesResponsabilité socialeInvestissements institutionnelsAspect socialGouvernement d'entrepriseRégimes privés de retraiteGestionInvestisseurs institutionnelsPension trustsInvestments.Social responsibility of business.Institutional investmentsSocial aspects.Corporate governance.Pension trustsManagement.Institutional investors.Régimes privés de retraiteInvestissements.EntreprisesResponsabilité sociale.Investissements institutionnelsAspect social.Gouvernement d'entreprise.Régimes privés de retraiteGestion.Investisseurs institutionnels.332.67/254Davis Ronald1947-768184MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910780848703321Democratizing pension funds3868907UNINA
