It's an investment approach that incorporates environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into the investment decision-making process. This is a method that can be applied across all asset classes and investment styles. Looking at ESG factors also helps us to identify investment opportunities, and is a way for our customers to benefit from the growing sustainability trend.
Proxy voting is a way for us to vote in favour of or against company resolutions tabled by our investee companies at annual general or ad hoc meetings. This is a proactive way for us to encourage best practice when it comes to corporate governance in respect of issues such as executive remuneration and Board composition; as well as operational aspect of a business, such as environmental and labour policies. In the interests of transparency, you can download our proxy voting record for 2017 here.
