We explored investor engagement in detail at our recent Amplify conference, with a focus on how expectations are shifting in practice. The discussion moved quickly beyond traditional views of engagement. It’s no longer just about who is on the register, but understanding how decisions are actually being made within increasingly complex investor structures. One theme that emerged clearly was fragmentation. Decision-making is no longer centralised within institutions, with governance, stewardship and portfolio teams often taking different positions. That makes outcomes harder to predict and relationships even more important. There was also a consistent understanding that engagement needs to be continuous. Not tied to results or AGM season, but built over time. The idea of “relationship capital” also came up repeatedly, the work done early is what supports you when pressure arises later. These were an insightful series of discussions between Kirsten van Rooijen, Scott Hudson and Penny Berger, which focused on what teams are dealing with now, and how investor engagement continues to evolve. This is what Amplify was designed to do - unpack the key themes and topics impacting companies in today's ever evolving corporate landscape. #InvestorEngagement #AmplifyConference2026
