AGMs are strategic moments that shape investor confidence and test governance credibility. Kingsdale’s 2026 AGM Readiness Checklist cuts through the noise with seven essential questions every board and management team should answer before their upcoming meeting.
LSEG's newly published Global Shareholder Activism Review confirms Bloomberg's findings from earlier this month. Kingsdale Advisors ranks #1 in Canada and Top 8 globally for company-side proxy solicitation in FY 2025.
Our EVP of Governance Advisory, Victor Li, joins ICD’s Rahul K. Bhardwaj on the "Be It Resolved" podcast to discuss J.P. Morgan’s shift from proxy advisors to proprietary AI. Leveraging decades of experience at Kingsdale and ISS, Victor analyzes if AI will displace industry giants and how directors must adapt their oversight.
Aaron Boles, our President, offers a compelling perspective on JPMorgan’s decision to replace proxy advisory firms with its own AI platform and the implications for governance strategy, proxy contests, and the role of human judgment in capital markets.
We are happy to share that Kingsdale is ranked the #1 Proxy Solicitor in Canada and #8 globally for company-side engagements in the Bloomberg Global Activism League Tables for FY 2025. This ranking is about more than just activist defence. It is built on something foundational: mastery of the routine AGM.
