Stewardship means that we take a responsible approach with your money. From deciding where to invest right through to the ongoing management of investments. We demonstrate this by following 12 guiding principles from the Financial Reporting Council's UK Stewardship Code 2020. These principles include: how we engage with the companies we're invested in through investment managers we appoint and how we hold them accountable. Our approach to investing and creating long term value for customers. Environmental, social and governance factors. And keeping our customers aware of how we're investing their money. Why is this important? Our investment approach aims to have a positive effect on the fund you are invested in. So you can feel confident that we're investing your money responsibly.
