Japan’s Stewardship Code
Japan’s Stewardship Code is a set of regulatory guidelines set down by the Financial Services Agency (FSA) to establish the fiduciary duty by institutional investors on behalf of their clients. The Principles inform institutional investors on their responsibilities to enhance long-term returns by improving and fostering companies’ corporate value and sustainable growth.
UK’s Stewardship Code
The UK Stewardship Code sets high stewardship standards for those investing money on behalf of UK savers and pensioners, and those that support them. Stewardship is the responsible allocation, management and oversight of capital to create long-term value for clients and beneficiaries leading to sustainable benefits for the economy, the environment and society.
