InvestorCom’s Corporate Governance Consulting Overview

The significance of a sound corporate governance policy is unprecedented in today’s environment of shareholder activism. In particular, institutions are becoming increasingly active, aggressive and influential shareholders.

Until recently, most institutions were content to remain on the sidelines during annual meeting season, often deferring their vote to management. However, these institutional investors today are now becoming increasingly concerned with the corporate structure and practices of their investments. Moreover, many institutions have established their own proxy guidelines and committees, effectively taking the matter out of the hands of the portfolio manager. The following is a brief list of what we offer with our Corporate Governance Consulting service:

• Review of Corporate Governance Practices
• Institutional Shareholder Activism Profiling
• Proxy Voting Recommendation Agency Policy Review
