Investment - Effective stewardship in a shifting investment landscape

In this episode of Hymans Robertson On... Investment, Jaid Longmore is back in the hosting chair, joined by colleague and fellow Responsible Investment Consultant, Chris O'Bryen, to discuss effective stewardship in today's shifting investment environment.

Jaid and Chris are joined by Tom Attwooll, Senior Specialist of Asset Owners and Investment Practices, at the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI). Tom brings expertise on how asset owners can respond to the increasing challenge of being an effective steward.

Throughout the episode, our experts discuss topics such as: 

• Recent policy changes, regulatory shifts and their impact on shareholder rights.
• How asset owners can adapt when asset managers are less able to challenge or influence company management.
• The concept of systemic stewardship, focusing on system-level risks and opportunities, with guidance for asset owners on how to approach this.

We hope you enjoy listening. If you have any questions on anything covered in this episode, please get in touch.
