LGT Capital Partners actively exercise their voting rights and seek to engage with companies, supranationals and sovereigns that the company invest in. LGT Capital Partners believe that over the long-term, a well developed relationship between a company and its investors can lead to increasing shareholder value and superior returns. LGT CP has the fiduciary responsibility to influence companies and issuers of securities in the most favorable way for their investors, society and other relevant stake-holders.
LGT CP monitors investee companies/issuers on relevant ESG related matters, including strategy, financial and non-financial performance and risk, capital structure, social and environmental impact and corporate governance. Where they considers that there is a need for a dialogue with a company or issuer of a security, or that it could influence a company’s business conduct related to well-defined topics, it starts an engagement process with investee companies/issuers, and/or cooperates with other shareholders.
