We define an engagement as a meeting between BIS and a company where meaningful dialogue occurred. The table below summarizes our global company engagement activity from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2020. The data is broken down by region and sector, and includes the specific topics discussed with each company engaged. We will update this report quarterly to show a rolling year of engagements, providing transparency into the range of topics we discuss with the companies in which we invest on behalf of our clients. Points of note: • Company engagements may cover multiple topics within a single meeting and are focused on our engagement priorities • Sectors are defined by the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) sector level one breakdown. GICS is a standardized classification system used to sort business entities by sector and industry groups Americas Engagements Management Board Composition & Effectiveness Composition Board Management Business Oversight/Risk Executive Management Strategy Corporate Structure Governance Remuneration Climate Risk Impact Management Environmental Sustainability Operational Human Capital Management Human Capital Risks Social Opportunities and - - - - - - - - - - - G G G G G G E E E S S Date Last Engagement Company Name Sector Count Engagement Total 1ST UNITED CORP Financials 6 5 0 0 6 5 4 0 0 0 1 0 21-Oct-20 3M CO Industrials 3 0 0 2 2 1 0 2 2 3 1 1 09-Dec-20 ABBOTT LABORATORIES Health Care 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 02-Apr-20 ABBVIE INC Health Care 2 1 2 0 0 0 2 0 0 1 2 0 19-Oct-20 ACADIA PHARMACEUTICALS INC Health Care 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 17-Jun-20 ACADIA REALTY TRUST Real Estate 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 20-Feb-20 Communication ACTIVISION BLIZZARD INC 2 0 1 0 1 0 2 0 1 2 1 2 08-Jun-20 Services ACUITY BRANDS INC.

    Carteira Safra Top 10 Março 2021 Panorama Macroeconômico O cenário internacional foi bastante influenciado pelo avanço dos preços das commodities e expectativa de novos estímulos fiscais nos EUA, que combinados ao avanço da vacinação, levaram o mercado a precificar um cenário de reflação global, com as taxas dos títulos públicos americanos mais longos avançando, apesar da sinalização do Federal Reserve de que deverá manter a política monetária afrouxada por um período prolongado.
