UK & Europe - vs US - monthly vs. quarterly boards

Was wondering why UK / Europe tend to do more monthly boards in PE vs quarterly in the US

Seems to be a mix of: 

  • Public market legacy - US - quarterly whereas Europe more semi annual 
  • Director liability in the UK different to US - so end up having more oversight 
  • Time zones / geography - US larger generally

Any other reasons? Do you actually think either improves performance? 

Appreciate there are variations like having monthly finance call or more regular contact with CEO / CFO / Chair etc. if in the US vs. quarterly
