Proxy advisors

: o ser e o dever-ser dos consultores em matéria de voto

Abstract

The present dissertation aims to analyze the role and influence of proxy advisors, in the current context of corporate governance. Throughout this work, the entire corporate dynamic is explored when including a new player in the traditional voting process, established by the Securities Code. At the same time, the advantages and risks associated with the influence of proxy advisors will be addressed, in an analysis that seeks to shed light on both the positive possibilities and the regulatory challenges associated to their actions, particularly regarding the definition and delimitation of their liability.
