We exercise our vote on all proxy resolutions at all investor meetings for investments that we directly hold on behalf of our clients unless, in exceptional circumstances, we believe it is in best interests of the client to abstain from voting. Our voting decisions are informed by a range of factors, with the key guiding principle being the best interests of our clients as investors.
More information on our approach, and the governance principles we seek to uphold, is available in our Proxy Voting Policy.
