Our Approach to Stewardship
Our Stewardship approach involves engaging in regular dialogue with portfolio companies to encourage them to implement strong fundamental, corporate governance and sustainability practices, and the prudent and considered exercise of shareholder voting rights in the best interest of our clients.
More detailed information is contained in our Global Engagement Policy.
Our Commitment
Engage Effectively
We believe that engagement is effective when driven by company-level research and undertaken through the fostering of long-term relationships.
Vote Responsibly
Voting rights have economic value and provide us with the opportunity to provide our views to management on a range of topics. Voting at shareholder meetings helps advance our stewardship goals on behalf of our clients.
Integration is Key
We believe that a combination of engagement and voting is key for an effective stewardship approach, and applying them in tandem is core to our approach.
