Against HSBC Mutual Fund, Mahindra Manulife Mutual Fund, Motilal Oswal Mutual Fund, Nippon India Mutual Fund
- HSBC Mutual FundA vote AGAINST this resolution is warranted in view of the following concerns in the executive's remuneration:- Virendraa Bangur's proposed pay is deemed high and positioned aggressively, compared to industry peers.- There is no absolute cap on the commission element or his overall pay.- There are no disclosures on the threshold and target performance that he needs to achieve to determine the commission element.
- Mahindra Manulife Mutual FundGovernance Concern: No absolute cap on variable pay | Skewed remuneration practice. We raise concerns regarding the proposed remuneration structure since his commission component is being increased to 1.5% of standalone profits: this could increase his commission payout even if the company’s profits decline. Further aggregate promoter executive remuneration was Rs. 422.3 (5.3% of standalone PBT), which is high for the size of business and not in line with peers.
