The Jasper Street Monthly: October 2026

Key Takeaways

  • ISS announced only minor U.S. policy tweaks and Glass Lewis none at all, and we unpack what that really means by showing how closely the largest investors actually track the advisors.

  • A new report on Climate Action 100+ members’ conduct around Engine No. 1’s 2021 Exxon campaign stopped short of enforcement, but signaled that coordinated engagement will be under the microscope going forward.

  • Hedge fund activists previewed their next wave of campaigns at the 13D Monitor Summit, while the National Legal and Policy Center’s “proxy access” proposal at P&G offered an early (if imperfect) look at what a post-14a-8 world could resemble.

  • Also inside: takeaways from our Annual Roundtable on Investor Expectations, co-hosted with Freshfields and Innisfree, featuring BlackRock, the NYC Comptroller’s Office, Gladstone, and a keynote with Ed Garden.
