Shareholder Voting Trends Survey out now

Manifest and Georgeson have released their pan-European survey of shareholder voting trends covering the national blue-chip indices in Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland as well as the UK indices. It’s the first time that Manifest has teamed up with Georgeson, the world’s leading proxy solicitation firm and part of the Computershare group, in the production of this wide-ranging research. With the rise of engaged and informed share voting, effective communication between issuers and their shareholders has never been more important. Georgeson brings a new dimension to the research, with their expertise on the communication process from the issuer perspective.

“This report helpfully brings into focus some of the structural challenges to constructive engagement between boards and their shareholders.”

Sir Christopher Hogg, Chairman, Financial Reporting Council & Board
