DSM is committed to maintaining an investment approach that fully integrates sustainability and governance principles to help reduce risk and adverse outcomes while also identifying opportunities to enhance our client’s long-term returns.
Proxies are an asset of a client, and as such, must be treated with the same care, diligence and loyalty as any other asset. Towards that end, DSM is responsible for reviewing proxy proposals for all securities held in its investment strategies and for making proxy voting decisions for its clients. It is DSM’s policy that all proxies be voted solely in the best interests of the beneficial owners of the securities. Click below to view our policies and record:

DSM’s investment team is responsible for proactively engaging with companies to better understand a company’s approach to long-term sustainability, governance, and risk management, and to encourage sound business practices.
DSM communicates with management and investor relations teams of current and potential portfolio companies. These engagements may take the form of direct in-person meetings, calls, emails, or letters.
DSM monitors the progress and outcome of its engagements on an ongoing basis to evaluate the actions, if any, taken by a company as well as what further actions may be necessary. If significant concerns arise and are not being adequately addressed, DSM may escalate the matter. However, we believe that we are in the best position to drive positive change when we as shareholders interact with management, and so will first seek to engage with them to influence a positive resolution of the issues in question.
