Overview

This report aims to enhance the quality of engagement between investors and companies to help improve long-term risk-adjusted returns to shareholders. The Code puts together a series of principles and good practices that are meant to protect and enhance the value that accrues to the ultimate beneficiary.

(An updated version of The UK Stewardship Code is due to be published in 2019. ‘The new Code aims to increase demand for more effective stewardship and investment decision-making which is aligned to the needs of institutional investors and clients.’)
