Shareholder engagement and voting rights policy
The Shareholder Rights Directive transposed into French law aims to strengthen long-term investment in companies and to promote the transparency of investments made by “institutional investors”.
LBO France Gestion is required to describe and make accessible to the public their long-term commitment to the issuers of shares in which it invests its funds. This policy sets out LBO France Gestion’s shareholder engagement and voting rights policy. It describes how LBO France Gestion integrates its role as a shareholder into its investment strategy. It includes the voting policy and describes the additional measures taken by LBO France Gestion to strengthen dialogue with its issuers. With the exception of its voting policy, which is applied regularly at each general meeting, the management company follows the various shareholder engagement criteria as much as possible. When it does not apply them, or applies them incompletely, it explains the reasons in this policy.
