Resources and Advisory Services
If you're
an investor that wants to turn around an underperforming portfolio company,
then TAI is for you. Management
listens to The Activist Investor.
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.
