I have attended more than 10 AGMs in the past.
It has helped me to understand and provide me a “sense” of the companies’ management which in turn gives me assurance that my investment is worth it. Open discussions and Q&A sessions among management and shareholders needs to be actively participated to express their concerns. Some directors are not forthcoming in their answers and hence I sold my shares shortly after. Providing live streaming or webcasting options for shareholders will allow for wider participation.
