Not only can securities litigation have a positive impact on investor returns in the current low yield environment; legal recoveries can also help institutional investors fulfill their fiduciary duty and ESG transparency objectives. \nINVESTMENT COST ANALYSES & OPTIMIZATION PROGRAMS\nDirect & indirect and explicit & implicit costs reduce net investment returns. Investment cost analyses can reduce the drag of these costs on portfolio performance. Cost analyses also empower investors by providing greater transparency & insight. \nMODERATOR:  CEES MICHIELSE\nCees Michielse is a specialist in pension related issues.
