SUMMARY:Democratic Backsliding:  Key Considerations for Global Investors
DESCRIPTION:WEBINAR: Democratic Backsliding: Key Considerations for Global Investors \nWednesday\, May 20th\, 2026 | 10 am EDT/ 3pm BST/ 4pm CEST \nREGISTER HERE \nIn 2024\, autocracies outnumbered democracies worldwide for the first time in over two decades. Nearly 40% of the global population now lives in countries experiencing “democratic backsliding\,” or the state-led weakening of institutions\, structures or norms that support democracy. The implications of this trend for institutional investors remain underexplored. \nThis webinar is designed for investors to better understand how weakening democratic institutions can shape long-term investment risk. Bringing together academic expertise and investor perspectives\, the session will examine the critical role that democracy and the rule of law play in supporting stable\, well-functioning markets\, as well as what happens when these foundations erode. It will also highlight the risks democratic backsliding poses to workers’ rights and pension security\, and explore possible investor responses. \nSpeakers:  \n\nAshley Hamilton Claxton\, Head of Responsible Investment\, Royal London Asset Management (U.K.)\nLayna Mosley\, Director of Princeton Sovereign Finance Lab\, Princeton University (U.S.)\n\nOpening Remarks: \n\nDusty Ngwane\, CWC Chair & Trustee\, Mineworkers Provident Fund (South Africa)\n\nWho should attend: \nInstitutional investors (e.g.\, ESG practitioners\, trustees) and anyone interested in the intersection of democracy\, workers’ capital and long-term investment risk. \nREGISTER HERE
