  • Report to Pensions Sub-Committee REPORT of SERVICE DIRECTOR – FINANCE & PROCUREMENT PROXY VOTING Purpose of the Report
    Report to Pensions Sub-Committee 13 December 2012 Agenda Item: 7 REPORT OF SERVICE DIRECTOR – FINANCE & PROCUREMENT PROXY VOTING Purpose of the Report 1. To report on the voting of equity holdings in the second and third quarters of 2012. Information and Advice 2. The Myners principles require pension funds to have an explicit strategy towards their holdings voting on issues that may affect the value of the Fund’s investments. The Fund’s statement on responsible investment states that “the Fund continues to exercise its ownership rights by adopting a policy of actively voting stock it holds”. 3. The Fund retains responsibility for voting (rather than delegating to its investment managers) and votes the majority of its equity holdings in the UK, Europe, US and Japan. Voting is implemented by Pensions Investment Research Consultants (PIRC) based on their Shareholder Voting Guidelines. 4. During the second and third quarters of 2012, 738 meetings were held, of which 10 were not voted mainly because the shares had no voting rights. Appendix A lists all meetings during the quarters at which the Fund voted. The table below shows the number of meetings by region at which votes were cast. 201 2 Meetings with Meetings Q2 & Q3 oppose/abstain votes UK 167 152 91% Europe 157 144 92% US 228 227 100% Japan 65 55 85% Global 111 109 98% Total 728 687 94% 5. Overall there were 687 meetings (representing 94% of the total) at which 1 or more oppose or abstain votes were cast. This high proportion of meetings with oppose or abstain votes shows that the Fund continues to take it stewardship role 1 seriously through considered exercise of its voting rights.
