  • 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.
