This is the 15th year FinanceAsia has quizzed investors about which listed companies throughout Asia are considered to be the best managed, with the best senior executives and the best policies around dividend payments and other matters.
FinanceAsia received responses from over 250 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 Indonesia, the Philippines and Thailand. This follows yesterday's results for China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. With more results on Monday, we conclude Tuesday with the best managed companies in Asia by sector.
