Highlights of our stewardship and responsible investment activities over 2020 

Our stewardship report highlights how we have supported our clients with their stewardship and responsible investment activities through 2020 and implemented the principles of the UK Stewardship Code 2020.

We were delighted to become a signatory to the UK Stewardship Code 2020 in the first wave of signatories (announced in September 2021).

The UK Stewardship Code 2020 has really strengthened the idea of stewardship, which it defines as follows: 

Stewardship is the responsible allocation, management and oversight of capital to create long-term value for clients and beneficiaries leading to sustainable benefits for the economy, the environment and society.

We believe that good stewardship and responsible investment practices are vital for delivering better financial performance for our clients. Stewardship contributes to stable, well-functioning and well-governed economic, social and environmental systems, which is in the best interests of our clients.

As part of this, stewardship aims to enhance investment performance by encouraging companies to act in the long-term interests of their shareholders (eg trustees) and their ultimate beneficiaries.

The investment rationale is clear – laying the foundation for strong returns in five years, ten years and beyond starts with good stewardship today.
