The larger advisory firms overstate the complexity of the factors that create good corporate governance. Academic research shows that governance attributes tending to lead to better financial performance are relatively few.

ProxyPower LLC was founded because we couldn't find any proxy advisory services whose recommendations are based on objective criteria rigorously tied to those attributes.

How much pay is too much?  What qualities are consistent with effective board membership and what qualities are inconsistent?  We started Proxy Power LLC to answer these questions objectively in the context of real companies and actual proxy votes.
