Exercise of voting rights
In our two Swiss funds (OLZ Equity Switzerland Optimized ESG and OLZ Equity Switzerland Small & Mid Caps Optimized ESG), proxy voting is based on the recommendations of the ISS SRI Policy to ensure that voting rights are exercised in a socially responsible manner. The ISS SRI Policy places particular emphasis on ethical, social and ecological aspects that are incorporated into corporate decisions. This approach means that not only financial interests but also sustainability goals are taken into account when voting. This enables the funds to exert a positive influence on corporate governance and promote compliance with ESG criteria. In the long term, proxy voting helps to strengthen responsible corporate practices and support sustainable value creation.
