UK STEWARDSHIP CODE AND EU SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS DIRECTIVE DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
Under COBS 2.2 of the FCA Handbook, we are required to make a public disclosure in relation to the nature of our commitment to the Stewardship Code ("the Code"), which was published by the Financial Reporting Council ('FRC') in July 2010. In addition, the EU Shareholder Rights Directive II ("SRD Il'") implemented in June 2019, sets out to strengthen the position of shareholders and to ensure that decisions are made for the long-term stability of companies. The obligations which apply to asset managers are listed under COBS 2.2B.
The Code aims to enhance the quality of engagement between institutional investors and companies to help improve long-term returns to shareholders and the efficient exercise of governance responsibilities. It sets out good practice on engagement with investee companies and is to be applied by firms on a "comply or explain" basis. The FRC recognise that not all parts of the Code will be relevant to all institutional investors and that smaller institutions may judge some of the principles and guidance to be disproportionate. It is of course legitimate for some asset managers not to engage with companies, depending on their investment strategy, and in such cases firms are required to explain why it is not appropriate to comply with a particular principle.
The seven principles of the Code are that institutional investors should:
- Publicly disclose their policy on how they will discharge their stewardship responsibilities;
- Have and publicly disclose a robust policy on managing conflicts of interest in relation to stewardship;
- Monitor their investee companies:
- Establish clear quidelines on when and how they will escalate their activities as a method of protecting and enhancingshareholder value;
- Be willing to act collectively with other investors where appropriate;
- Have a clear policy on voting and disclosure of voting activity;
- Report periodically on their stewardship and voting activities. SRD I requires asset managers to "comply or explain" how it:
- Integrates shareholder engagement in its investment strategies;
- Monitors investee companies on relevant matters (e. g. strategy, financial and non-financial performance and risk, capital structure, social and environmental impact and corporate governance);
- Conducts dialogues with investee companies;
- Exercises voting and any other shareholder rights;
- Cooperates with other shareholders;
- Communicates with relevant stakeholders of investee companies;
- Manages actual and potential conflicts of interests in relation to Arbion's engagement.
Arbion Limited does not currently comply with the Code or SRD II on the basis that it does not trade in listed companies on behalf of its discretionary clients or fund range. Should any of the above factors change, we will review our commitment to the Code and our obligations under SRD II at that time and make appropriate disclosure. We will also monitor communications from the FCA on its work with FRC as the communications from the FCA on its work with FRC as the Stewardship Code 2020 is introduced and take any further actions required as the new Code takes effect.
