Responsible stewardship for better client outcomes
Stewardship is the responsible allocation, management and oversight of capital to create long-term value for clients and beneficiaries. We believe robust investment stewardship practices are an important part of our fiduciary duty, producing better client outcomes and contributing to long-term value creation.
Themes shaping our investment stewardship activities
We engage on the following broad themes with our investee companies. These themes encompass multiple issues, which vary according to industry, region, and individual company business models. Together with related sub-themes, these broad themes shape our engagements with the companies in which we invest.
Research-powered engagement
Our engagement is based on our in-depth company research, alongside our assessment of macroeconomic drivers, sector-specific factors and financially material ESG themes. Through our global scale and active insight, we seek to intervene proactively before risks are realised and opportunities missed.
