Proxy Voting Results
Proxy voting is a key stewardship tool available to fund managers. As per our Proxy Voting Policy, Platinum views it as an important responsibility we carry out on behalf of and in the best interests of our clients.
The following charts provide a summary of Platinum’s proxy voting activity for the period from 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024.
The categories most voted on include board related matters, audit/financials, compensation, capital management, and changes to company statutes.
To reference the charts:
‘Take No Action’ refers to a deliberate decision by Platinum not to vote.
‘1 year’ refers to proposals to extend term lengths or establish term limits for Board of Directors where shareholders had to choose the voting instructions as ‘1 year’, ‘2 years’, ‘3 years’ rather than ‘For’ or ‘Against’.
‘Unvoted” includes where Platinum did not vote due to not meeting the deadline for voting.
‘N/A’ refers to proposals which Platinum was not allowed to vote on.
This information is sourced from our proxy advisor, Glass Lewis’ Viewpoint platform.
