2017 East Coles / Transplant Australia Corporate Performance Awards

Sydney, May 17, 2017 AEST (ABN Newswire) - The 2017 East Coles / Transplant Australia Corporate Performance Awards will be held at the Ivy Ballroom in September.

These annual Awards are voted on by around 60 prominent fund manager organisations across Asia-Pacific and voting in the 2017 Awards will be closing down at the end of May. Fund managers are able to vote now at http://secure.eastcoles.com.au/votenow.

In 2016 Domino's Pizza took out the Award for the Best Board in Australia across the S&P/ASX100, and David Teoh from TPG Telecom was voted the Best CEO. Ramsay Health Care had the Best CFO across the S&P/ASX100, whilst Amcor was voted the Best Company in the S&P/ASX100.

In 2016 in the S&P/ASX101-200 the Best Company was Reliance Worldwide Corporation, whilst Aconex was voted both the Best CEO and Best CFO. Best ESG was Vocus Communications.

The East Coles Corporate Performance Research asks analysts from both fund managers and brokerage houses to score the S&P/ASX200 stocks they covered across 25 performance categories. The scores are then aggregated and averaged to create league tables in each category, then broken down into S&P/ASX100, S&P/ASX101-200 and GICS sectors. 53 buy and sell-side organisations participated in 2016, scoring 55 stocks each on average.

The idea of the Research is to provide a feedback mechanism between the investment community and the S&P/ASX200 to ensure corporates are more finely attuned to investor sentiment. The Research provides an opportunity for investors to express their satisfaction or otherwise with the companies they cover and show their appreciation where they feel value has been added.
