Corporate Governance

Commitment to Governance

 As a diversified capital manager, our mission is to act as a responsible steward of capital. Inherent in this mission is our longstanding commitment to strong corporate governance practices foster a culture of long-term value creation, transparency and accountability.

We regularly review and update our corporate governance practices in response to shareholder feedback, changes in applicable laws, regulations, requirements and guidance, as well as the evolving needs of our business. The Board of Directors is continually focused on enhancing its structure, composition and effectiveness, which is in part informed by its annual self-evaluation and succession planning processes.
