Are your proxy materials ready for shareholders’ scrutiny?
Institutional-grade governance support for listed and growth-stage companies – built on 6 years and 2,500+ reports inside ISS-STOXX.
Proxy advisors know that most of the adverse vote recommendations are avoidable.
Quantitative research confirms what proxy analysts know from experience: an adverse recommendation by ISS alone can cost ~18 percentage points of shareholder approval.1
What this study cannot know: your voting agenda faces two systems, dead-set on cost minimisation – the institutional investors, and the proxy research firms they hire.
Most companies trip over the same issues, as well documented by ISS and Glass Lewis:
