IA Drops Shareholder Dissent Register on Government Instruction
The UK's asset management trade body, the Investment Association (IA), will no longer maintain a public log of meaningful shareholder opposition to company management at general meetings.
This change is a sign of the government being open to pro-deregulation lobbying, according to a corporate governance specialist.
- The IA was asked to set up the Public Register in 2017 by the then Conservative government.
- The register tracked companies in the UK FTSE All Share where more than 20% of shareholder votes had been cast against a resolution at an annual or extraordinary general meeting.
The policy was a response to public disgruntlement about executive pay levels and significant minority opposition to remuneration reports and policies.
The Investment Association's decision to drop the shareholder dissent register is a notable shift in approach.
