Active Ownership

Taking responsibility as an investor also means being an active owner. We have built a robust active ownership program that includes exercising shareholder voting rights focused on the best interest of our clients and engaging with issuers to mitigate ESG risk, to help better understand the opportunities that companies face and encourage more sustainable practices.
