- New York, NY (1888PressRelease) April 19, 2018 - About Ian Robertson, CFA, MBA, MA
Ian is a part-time DPhil Candidate at the University of Oxford. He holds graduate degrees from Carleton and Dalhousie Universities and undergraduate degrees from the University of British Columbia, as well as a post-graduate diploma from Oxford. He is also a CFA charterholder.
As a longstanding leader and volunteer within the CFA community, Ian is currently a regional lecturer in ethics and a contributing book reviewer to the Financial Analysts Journal. In the past, Ian served as a member of the global Disciplinary Review Committee, in various capacities within the CFA examination process, and as a past president of the CFA Society of Vancouver. He is a past chair of the UBC Alumni Association, and subsequently served as a Campaign Cabinet member of UBC’s $1.5 billion fundraising campaign. He is a board member of the Responsible Investment Association (Canada), and has worked in the investment industry for over twenty years.
Ian’s academic pursuit stems from his industry experience, where he has noted that institutional investors are increasingly adopting Responsible Investment practices – including consideration of ESG factors in voting proxies – but retail investors’ ability to do the same is limited. His DPhil thesis focusses on the gap between retail investors’ interest in Responsible Investment and their ability to vote proxies effectively. His first paper, Responsible Investment Requires a Proxy Voting System Responsive to Retail Investors, was awarded ‘Best Student Paper’ at the 2017 UNPRI Academic Conference, and was published as a chapter in Designing a Sustainable Financial System: Development Goals and Socio-Ecological Responsibility (https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-66387-6_8).
His DPhil supervisors are:
Professor Gordon Clark, Director of the Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment
Professor Jonathan Michie, Professor of Innovation and Knowledge Exchange

Event Synopsis:
The recent years have witnessed how the nature of executive and director compensation significantly evolved due to the passing of current legislations and court decisions. This year, with the passage of H.R. 1 known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, along with the implementation of the CEO pay ratio disclosure rules, significant changes and developments are expected to shape the executive pay landscape this proxy season.
