At ARIM, we believe in responsible investment and consider stewardship to be a critical component of our investment philosophy. We are dedicated to maximizing long-term value for our clients, including the common economic, social, and environmental aspects that underpin returns. ARIM believes that proper stewardship is our fiduciary duty, and we are committed to managing the assets we are entrusted with in the best interests of our clients.
We take a holistic approach to ESG integration, incorporating relevant and material ESG factors into our investment research and portfolio management processes. We conduct comprehensive ESG assessment of which the outcome is integrated into our investment decisions, aligning with our commitment to responsible investment and maximizing long-term value for our clients.
Our investment team adopts an active ownership approach, regularly engaging with investee companies to understand their strategies and assess ESG-related factors. Through written queries, meetings, and conversations with the managements, we aim to improve corporate behaviour and promote industry best practices. The engagement activities are recorded, ensuring transparency and accountability in our efforts to maximize long-term value for our clients.
We are committed to upholding high standards of governance for the companies in which we invest, as well as maintaining our own standards of responsible investment practices. To ensure the success of our ESG initiative, we have established governing and operating committees to oversee the implementation and monitoring of our ESG policies. Through this robust system of oversight and accountability, we strive to promote industry-leading corporate governance best practices and maximize long-term value for our clients.
ARIM believes that proxy voting is part of our active ownership approach. We exercise our proxy voting rights in line with the best interests of our clients. We follow a principle-based approach and consider all voting decisions according to our Voting Policy.
ARIM is a signatory of the Malaysian Code for Institutional Investors (MCII).
The Malaysian Code for Institutional Investors was introduced in a joint effort by the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) and the Minority Shareholders Watch Group (MSWG) based on the SC’s Corporate Governance Blueprint 2011. The code aims to enhance the responsibility of institutional investors towards their members and investors.
ARIM is committed to adhere to the six principles of the MCII as set out below:
ARIM is a signatory to MCII effective 12 January 2021.
Statement of Compliance with the Malaysian Code for Institutional Investors (MCII).
Responsible investment is a principle we uphold, and ARIM views active ownership as a fundamental aspect of our investment philosophy. We also regard proper stewardship as a fiduciary responsibility and are unwavering in our commitment to managing entrusted assets in the utmost interest of our clients. Our primary objective is to optimise long-term value, with due consideration for the shared economic, social and environmental factors influencing returns.
An active and informed voting policy is an integral aspect of our direct equity investment philosophy and is core to our active ownership approach. We are supportive of the boards and management of our investee companies. However, when companies consistently fall short of our expectations, we will consider actively promoting changes via proxy voting. By exercising our votes, we seek both to add value and to protect our clients’ interests as shareholders.
In 2023, we actively participated in 92 shareholder meetings, casting votes on a total of 708 resolutions. Of the 92 meetings, 75(82%) voted in favour of all resolutions while 17(18%) voted against or abstained on at least one item. In total, ARIM voted “with” management on 673 (95%) resolutions and “Against” or “Abstain” on 35 (5%) resolutions.
