breadth and expertise which extends across the global capital markets to include senior decision makers and opinion leaders in the practice of corporate governance;
magnitude of institutional investors who collectively represent funds under management in excess of US$18 trillion, giving a focus on the role of shareholders responsible for the long term savings of the wider community; and
