What are AGMs?
AGMs are important yearly events for a company’s shareholders. An AGM is a meeting where the company shares updates on its performance, future plans, and key financial details.
Importantly, it's a chance for shareholders like you to have your voice heard and play a role in decision-making.
NatWest’s 2024 AGM was on 23rd April 2024. The date for the 2025 AGM will be announced in early 2025 - find out more here.
