Learn@Lunch on Stewardship: How Investors Make an Impact

In cooperation with DVFA Akademie Germany

Stewardship encompasses far more than just dialogue with companies. But what distinguishes investor stewardship from active ownership—and how can we recognize good and, above all, effective stewardship?

In this Learn&Lunch session, Dr. Alexander Juschus provides a concise overview of the fundamentals and tools of investor stewardship. The focus is on the DVFA Stewardship Principles and Stewardship Codes, shareholder rights, and the various ways to exert influence—from engagement and voting to escalation and litigation.

The session centers on one key question: How does stewardship translate into real impact? After all, the quality of stewardship is not measured solely by the number of activities, but by whether investors use their influence strategically and purposefully to bring about change.
