Against SBI Mutual Fund
- SBI Mutual FundAalok Agrawal, 47, is Senior Vice-President & General Manager, Consumer Healthcare, Asia, Middle-East, Africa, P&G. He has been on the board of the company since 1 June 2019. We observe that there are 7 BODs out of which 3 are classified as IDs. Further, we note that there is 1 ID who are long tenured. Hence, the effective independence of the board at SBI MF framework is assessed at 29%. SBIMF’s internal proxy voting guidelines do not allow us to vote in favor of promoter directors’ or promoter director representatives’ re-appointment if the board is not 50% independent both in number and spirit irrespective of the chairman of the board being an independent director. This is why we do not support the resolution.
