          (1) We do not collate information on the percentage of votes which were cast in the reporting period.. However, we do review how our managers are voting and would raise it as a concern if, in general, they were not voting their shares.  Their share voting record is disclosed on their own websites. (2) Generally we do not ask our fund managers to engage with specific companies although we do so it we have a specific concern about a particular company's activities. However, we do ask our fund managers to engage generally on specific ESG issues such a corporate tax and power and accountability in the technology sector.
