Good corporate governance is a key component of our investment process. Explicit share selection criteria include requirements for corporate transparency, accounting and reporting based on internationally accepted accounting standards, integrity of management and Board of Directors, transparency and fairness in remuneration structures, focus on empowerment, and on socially and environmentally responsible manner of operating.
We use our clients' voting rights judiciously and encourage the increased focus on corporate governance and renewed shareholder activism in South Africa.
