Voting policy

HSBC Global Asset Management (France) shares the widely held conviction that there are strong ties between a company’s corporate governance – a leading indicator of management quality – and its economic and financial performance, which can add value for shareholders.

HSBC Global Asset Management (France) performs its duty of voting at annual general meetings on behalf of clients. It firmly believes this policy can improve corporate governance standards in continental Europe, especially in France.

Our voting policy embodies the corporate governance values and principles that we want companies to apply. We also draw on industry-wide standards laid down, among others, by the French Asset Management Association (AFG), the French Association of Private Companies (Afep) and the French Business Confederation (Medef), and also in the OECD Principles of Corporate Governance. We update our voting policy on an annual basis to reflect changes to industry recommendations or standards.
