How effective really is proxy voting? “Your voting rights [enable investors to] protect the economic value of your investment and encourage behaviours of the issuer, and of the Board, that you want to see. It's incredibly impactful.” - Philip Foo CFA, CA, APAC Head of Research & Engagement, Glass Lewis Thank you to our panel for a fascinating Masterclass today about how to use voting rights effectively, and where it fits in with the suite of other stewardship tools.
