Global Investor Stewardship is an international research initiative based at The Dickson Poon School of Law, King’s College London, bringing together academics, policymakers, regulators, investors, and other participants across the investment ecosystem to examine the evolving role of investor stewardship in corporate governance and financial markets.
Led by Dr Dionysia Katelouzou, the initiative develops a forward-looking research agenda that conceptualises investor stewardship as a form of responsibility and practice exercised across the investment chain, linking asset-level governance with portfolio- and system-level outcomes.
Through conceptual, empirical, and comparative research, Global Investor Stewardship informs policy and practice across jurisdictions and contributes to emerging debates on investor stewardship. It also convenes events and fosters dialogue between research and practice, supporting the development and refinement of stewardship frameworks and strengthening decision-making by investors, regulators, and policymakers.
Dr Katelouzou's latest book, 'The Path to Enlightened Investor Stewardship' will be available in June 2026.
