For the 17th 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 corporate governance and other matters.
FinanceAsia received responses from more than 180 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 and Hong Kong. More country results will be dsplayed throughout the week and we will also publish the list of best companies by sector.
