Voting

Voting for long-term value 

We believe in business practices that drive long-term value creation for our clients, shareholders, and other stakeholders. As such, we exercise our voting rights to promote business models necessary to sustaining value over the long term. 

When considering a vote, we pay attention to financially material sustainability factors and financial factors relevant to long-term economic performance. 

We’re responsible for exercising voting rights in respect of managed portfolios in a considered manner, within the context of a positive relationship with a company’s management. We treat these rights and responsibilities as valuable assets in serving our stakeholders’ best interests. 

Our approach to stewardship is considered, constructive, and pragmatic, with the extent of any intervention being determined on a case-by-case basis, putting the long-term interests of relevant stakeholders first​.
