Good Fund Management

FIERS is a public-registered commercial fund and must therefore meet the requirements for good fund management:

Good management of commercial foundations requires that the board is appropriately composed in relation to the tasks and responsibilities the board faces.

The board should be composed in such a way that the duties can be carried out effectively in a constructive and qualified dialogue with the foundation’s management. It is essential that board members only look after the foundation’s interests and that each member always acts independently of special interests. This also applies to members appointed by external appointees.

It is recommended that the composition of the board, including diversity, is explained annually in the management report, and on the foundation’s website, if any, and that the following information is given about each of the board members:

The name and position of the person concerned, the age and gender of the person concerned, date of joining the board, whether re-election of the member has taken place, and expiry of the current election period, the member’s possible special skills, the person in question’s other management positions, including positions in management boards, boards of directors and supervisory boards, including management committees, in Danish and foreign foundations, companies, institutions and demanding organizational tasks, whether the person in question owns shares, options, warrants and the like in the fund’s subsidiaries and/or associated companies,which members have been appointed by authorities/grant providers etc., ando whether the member is considered independent.
