Investment Stewardship
As a fiduciary, Parametric encourages companies to provide greater transparency around environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues and rectify clear lapses in oversight. Clients trust us to represent their interests through our investment stewardship activities.
A combination of proxy voting and targeted shareholder engagement can help strengthen companies, protect shareholder capital, and benefit economies and communities. Learn more about our stewardship activities in 2022:
