“Manifest enables investors to make better informed decisions
based on the best possible governance data available”

Governance Pilot is the net result of over a decade of in-depth experience of gathering some of the most complex financial data available in the market. Our current dataset contains over 400 fields of key governance and compensation data contained in a single relational database which makes year-on-year comparisons both straightforward and accurate.

In addition to our governance data screens and profiles, Manifest provides access to in-depth proxy agendas and detailed governance reports analysing shareholder meetings at a company level on a global basis.

The data is logically organised, easy to use and includes a data export facility for manipulation in statistical packages. It’s no surprise then that many of the UK’s compensation consultants use Manifest as their primary source of executive compensation data. The quality of our data is also highly regarded by the academic community including Harvard, Wharton, London Business School and Cranfield, to name but a few.
