DISCUSSION 2020 Stewardship – Charting the pension trustee’s course to effective investor stewardship

Tomorrow’s Company founder Mark Goyder has written in the second issue of MHP’s Reputation Matters for Pension Trustees (avaliable here, pdf), on the “wider relationship between asset owners and plcs in which their schemes invest”.

He has summarised the recommendations of The Stewardship 2020 Group – of which he is a member (as are two major pension schemes – RPMI Railpen and USS) –  on practical steps to make stewardship work better.  In particular for asset owners there is increasingly a need to understand the differences in stewardship approaches among asset managers.
