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 investorsRegimes prives de retraiteInvestissementsEntreprisesResponsabilite socialeInvestissements institutionnelsAspect socialGouvernement d'entrepriseRegimes prives de retraiteGestionInvestisseurs institutionnelsPension trustsInvestments.Social responsibility of business.Institutional investmentsSocial aspects.Corporate governance.Pension trustsManagement.Institutional investors.Regimes prives de retraiteInvestissements.EntreprisesResponsabilite sociale.Investissements institutionnelsAspect social.Gouvernement d'entreprise.Regimes prives de retraiteGestion.Investisseurs institutionnels.332.67/254Davis Ronald1947-768184MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910828831303321Democratizing pension funds3980077UNINA
