Hogan Lovells Corporate Governance Unit views: Asset managers' stewardship credentials in the spotlight

posted by Frances Legrys on July 27, 2010

The UK Financial Reporting Council have today published the new UK Stewardship Code. The Stewardship Code sits alongside and is complementary to the UK Corporate Governance Code, published in May, and includes principles on:

• The monitoring of investee companies;
• The escalation of activities taken to protect or enhance shareholder value;
• Collective engagement;
• Voting policy;
• Managing conflicts of interest; and
• Public reporting and reporting to clients.

However, they have managed an extended and quite heated review process to produce the new UK Corporate Governance Code which will apply to reporting periods beginning on or after 29 June 2010.
