ISS Releases 2012 Proxy Voting Policies,

So Now What?

 

With appropriate pomp and circumstance (at least as far as arcane corporate governance stuff goes), last week ISS issued its 2012 proxy voting policies

 

Along with the news release from ISS and several other updates and blog posts, we received at least a half-dozen updates from corporate law firms announcing this momentous event, with more to come.

 

(We found a nifty website that compiles those ubiquitous law firm memos on all manner of subjects, too, worth at least a glance and probably your email address.) 

 

We review the importance of these new guidelines to activist investors in our current blog post. Also, our guide to proxy advisors provides helpful context, and a checklist for winning proxy advisor support.

You can find other useful resources at the TAI website, including our research on "Effective Activism, on the Cheap", the new guide to executive compensation, bibliography of academic research on the returns to activist investing, and our white paper with the basics on activism.
