Voting policy
Pursuant to Article 314-100 of the AMF general regulation, Axiom Alternative Investments has established a voting policy setting the conditions for the exercise of voting rights attached to the securities held by UCITS under its management.
Our engagement and voting policy apply to all of our assets under management. That being said, our range of funds invested in equities is limited to a single fund managing 20 million euros i.e. 0.52% of our total assets as at mid-January 2020, the majority of which are bonds, with a moderate use of derivatives and CDS.
We are cognizant that voting is an important part of the investment process and an opportunity to influence the company so voting rights are exercised above defined thresholds, expressed as a percentage of the number of outstanding shares of an issuer held by the mutual fund concerned. Axiom Alternative Investment may be required to vote when its shareholding falls below the thresholds only in exceptional situations where the defense of shareholders’ interests is necessary.
Our policy is available here below (in French) and available in English on request.
