The UK Stewardship Code is recognized globally as a best-practice benchmark in investment stewardship

On September 7, 2022, the London, UK-based Financial Reporting Council published the list of signatories to the UK Stewardship Code following its Spring 2022 assessment.

AGF Management Limited (AGF) is proud to share that AGF International Advisors Company Limited (AGFIA), a subsidiary of AGF, has once again been accepted as a signatory to the UK Stewardship Code, recognized globally as a best-practice benchmark in investment stewardship.

“AGFIA retaining its status as a signatory to the UK Stewardship Code stands as a testament to the rigor of our responsible investing practices,” said Kevin McCreadie, CEO and Chief Investment Officer at AGF. “We believe strongly that our commitment to the principles of good stewardship and consideration of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues into our investment decision-making and ownership practices will help deliver better investment outcomes to our clients.”

The Code sets high standards of stewardship for those investing money on behalf of UK savers and pensioners, and the continued growth in the number of applicants and successful signatories shows the value that investors – and their clients and beneficiaries in the UK and beyond – give to the Code.
