Asia's best managed companies: Part 1

FinanceAsia reveals the first batch of results from its annual poll to find Asia's best managed companies. Today: China, Taiwan and the Philippines.

For the 16th year FinanceAsia has asked investors for their views on which listed companies around Asia they consider to be the best managed, with the best senior executives and the best policies around dividend payments and other matters.

FinanceAsia received responses from 129 portfolio managers and buy-side analysts from around the world, running mandates that included, or were dedicated to, Asian listed companies. We thank participants for their votes.

Today we release the results for China, Taiwan and the Philippines. More country results will be dsplayed throughout the week and we will also publish the list of best companies by sector.

For part two, covering Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore, click here.
