Who We Are
The Council of Institutional Investors (CII) is a nonprofit association of public, union and corporate pension funds with combined assets that exceed $3 trillion. Member funds are major long-term shareowners with a duty to protect the retirement assets of millions of American workers.
The Council strives to educate its members and the public about good corporate governance, shareowner rights and related investment issues, and to advocate on our members' behalf. Corporate governance covers a spectrum of issues—from disclosure to enforcement—involving the relationship between shareowners, directors and managers of a company. Good corporate governance fosters transparency, responsibility, accountability and market integrity.
