On July 21, 2009, Riskmetrics Group's Securities Class Action Services will sponsor a webcast entitled "Securities Litigation Issues Facing Institutional Investors." The webcast will feature a dynamic panel of securities litigation experts who will join me to examine the fiduciary duties of institutional investors and discuss significant topics, such as:

Monitoring the portfolio: When and why you would want to be a lead plaintiff;

Don't leave money on the table: Filing claim forms in settled cases to recover losses;

Opting in: Navigating the waters of non-US securities litigation; and

Opting out: When does it make sense to leave the safety of the class action and pursue an individual case.

Please join Adam Savett, Head of Securities Class Action Services, RiskMetrics Group; Salvatore J. Graziano, partner with Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann LLP; and Wayne Schneider, General Counsel, New York State Teachers' Retirement System; and me as we address these issues and your questions in a free webcast.
