Voting
We see our voting rights as valuable assets in serving our stakeholders’ best interests.
Voting for long-term value
We believe in business practices that preserve long-term value 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 financial factors and financially material sustainability factors relevant to long-term economic performance.
The right to vote at company shareholders’ meetings is a fundamental part of a well-functioning corporate governance system. We therefore aim to exercise this right, wherever possible, for companies in which we invest.
