CFA Institute CEO John Rogers: Short-Termism Detrimental to Investor, Issuer Confidence (Video)

John Rogers, CFA, president and CEO of CFA Institute, recently discussed shareholder responsibility in an interview with Bloomberg TV’s “The Pulse.” He discusses how shareholder short-termism is detrimental to confidence at both the issuer and investor level. Referencing a CFA Institute report, Visionary Board Leadership: Stewardship for the Long Term, he also emphasizes that investors and boards need to think for the long term and that obsession with quarterly or even semi-annual earnings is not healthy for a corporation’s long-term growth.
