Before joining us at the Independent Directors Council (IDC) 2026 Fund Directors Conference, tune into the latest episode of our “Talking Investment Management” podcast on “Effective Fund Board Oversight: Considerations and Practical Guidance.” Stradley Ronon partner Sara Crovitz, co-chair of the firm’s investment management practice (and an IDC panelist), and partner Christopher Zimmerman are joined by Erik Sirri, chair of the board of trustees for the Natixis family of funds and member of FINRA’s board of governors, to provide an insider’s perspective on the key role that fund boards play in overseeing funds and protecting shareholder interests. Listeners will gain insight into: How to distinguish between oversight and day-to-day management. What valuation and liquidity questions deserve particular attention. What boards should understand about how advisers and service providers use AI. When boards should become involved in a proposed new product. Listen to the full conversation below — and be sure to catch our team at the IDC conference. Also available on Apple Podcasts.
