Labour And Capital: August 2015
http://labourandcapital.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Either an idiot. or possessed of a dangerous agenda and very cunning". Thursday, 27 August 2015. Murdoch paper reports police raid on union that never happened. This is massively off topic, but I thought it deserved a blog. I follow a few Aussie unions, union leaders, activists etc on Twitter and this morning I saw people from the CFMEU tweeting about a story in the Murdoch-owned Herald Sun. Rank and file CFMEU members at the office said there were several police there. The first para is below:. Now I'm ...

Labour And Capital: Afren's remuneration: a long-term problem
http://labourandcapital.blogspot.com/2015/06/afrens-remuneration-long-term-problem.html
Either an idiot. or possessed of a dangerous agenda and very cunning". Friday, 26 June 2015. Afren's remuneration: a long-term problem. A few years back, when I was blogging more regularly, Afren was one of the companies I always used to keep an eye on. This was because it clearly had some governance challenges, not least in respect of directors' pay. As far as I am aware it remains the only PLC to have lost the vote on its rem report twice. The first was a narrow defeat in 2011. I work at the Internatio...

Labour And Capital: May 2015
http://labourandcapital.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Either an idiot. or possessed of a dangerous agenda and very cunning". Sunday, 31 May 2015. Fidelity "steers away from" own previous views? Just a quick update, as I noted in a previous post. Fidelity says it has "deliberately steered away from" addressing the question of scale/size/amount (or as they say "quantum") of executive pay. See Para A4 here. So they used to think the scale of pay mattered, at least for banks, but apparently no longer do. Saturday, 30 May 2015. About Caledonia Investments contin...

Labour And Capital: July 2015
http://labourandcapital.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Either an idiot. or possessed of a dangerous agenda and very cunning". Tuesday, 14 July 2015. I've had a response from the FRC, which has been in touch with the company. Apparently the company "confirms" that it has not made any donations since 2010. However, as of today the two donations are still on the Electoral Commission website and attributed to Caledonia, so I've been in touch with the Commission, who in turn say they are talking to the Conservative Party. Tuesday, 7 July 2015. The trait of hyperb...

Labour And Capital: December 2014
http://labourandcapital.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Either an idiot. or possessed of a dangerous agenda and very cunning". Tuesday, 16 December 2014. Salience and priorities in responsible investment. Let's take a detour into Capital P Politics for a minute. Lord Ashcroft (yes, him) has become a source of very useful polling. Not only has he undertaken constituency-level polling in addition to national polls, he has also done some really interesting research on salience. This recent piece. I think it would be useful for all us in this field if there were ...

Either an idiot. or possessed of a dangerous agenda and very cunning". Friday, 29 August 2014. Levellers, Agitators and Diggers. I love secondhand books. On a recent trip I stumbled on a secondhand book sale in the late afternoon where they were desperate to get rid of as many books as possible. I got three books for 20p. One of them was Britain's First Socialists: The Levellers, Agitators and Diggers of the English Revolution by Fenner Brockway. Also grimly amusing to see the content of the Treason Act ...

Commoner Cents: Hedge Funds Going Public
http://commonercents.blogspot.com/2011/05/hedge-funds-going-public.html
A blog dedicated to corporate governance and political theory. Wednesday, May 18, 2011. Hedge Funds Going Public. Hedge funds, i.e., multi-billion dollar investment firms created just to sell exotic stuff to institutional and very rich individual investors (you can't sell such things to the general public, see), are themselves going public. Theoretically, hedge funds can sell exotic assets, i.e. Assets that are non-public and therefore not subject to the SEC's reporting and transparency requirements, to ...
