Join the meeting

Notice is hereby given of an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) of the Institute of Asset Management (IAM) to be held on 21 June 2022 at Grosvenor House, St Pauls Square, Birmingham, UK and online at 15:00 UTC.

To ensure equitable engagement in the EGM for all members worldwide, we are asking you to join the EGM online.  Three voting members will be attending Grosvenor House in person to ensure legal requirements associated with holding the EGM are met.

The EGM is being held to allow voting members (Members (MIAM) and Fellows (FIAM)) to vote on an ordinary resolution, and for Associates and Life Fellows to make an expression of preference, both relating to Transform22 proposals.

Ordinary Resolution (for Members (MIAM) and Fellows (FIAM) only)

To consider and, if thought fit approve the following ordinary resolution:

“Provided that the Board, having taken steps to ascertain the preference of Associate Members and Life Fellows, is satisfied that the majority of Associate Members and Life Fellows expressing a preference is supportive of the implementation of the Transform22 proposals, the Voting Members of the Company resolve to give the Board, CEO, Chapters, Council and Patrons a general mandate to pursue the implementation of the Transform22 proposals subject to, where necessary, changing the articles, byelaws and key governance documents of the company in accordance with those articles, byelaws and the general law.  This resolution will remain in place unless revoked at an EGM or an AGM.”

Members (MIAM) and Fellows (FIAM) may also vote by proxy. See below for details.

Expression of Preference (for Associates and Life Fellows only)

The Board of the IAM wishes to ascertain whether the Associate Members and Life Fellows are also supportive of the implementation of the Transform 22 proposals. Accordingly, the Board is inviting the Associate Members and Life Fellows to attend the EGM at which they will be invited to express a preference as to whether they are in support or not of the implementation of the Transform 22 proposals.

Associates and Life Fellows may also express their preference by proxy. See below for details.

About Transform22

Transform22 is a global IAM transformation program designed to create added value for our membership, enhancing local networks and services.  It will give our chapters the autonomy to drive member services locally within a common global framework.

Transform22 will also refocus our core efforts to continue developing knowledge and promoting the discipline of asset management.  Building off what we have in place, we will provide more access to knowledge not only for members but also for the benefit of the public.

Attached to this notice is a supporting slide deck which provides information on the Transform22 proposals and explains why we have both a resolution and expression of preference.

IAM Member Briefings

To help members understand these proposals and provide an opportunity for questions ahead of the EGM, online briefings open to all members are being held on:

9 June 2022, 12:00 UTC

9 June 2022, 15:00 UTC

13 June 2022, 12:00 UTC

13 June 2022, 15:00 UTC

Each briefing will cover the same content, so you only need to register for one session.

A specific Patrons briefing is being held during the Patrons’ Group meeting on 8 June 2022.
