Hymans Robertson On... Episode 47

Stewardship from a Fiduciary Manager's perspective (Part 1)

03 Dec 2021

Overview

In this episode of Hymans Robertson On...we bring you the first episode of our two-part series exploring stewardship from a Fiduciary Manager’s perspective. Samora Stephenson, Senior Investment Consultant here at Hymans Robertson, is joined by two Fiduciary Managers, Ajeet Manjrekar, co-Head of Solutions at River and Mercantile Solutions and Inge West, Senior Sustainable Investment Specialist at Mercer Investment Solutions to discuss this topic.

We look at how these Fiduciary Managers determine engagement priorities; whether ‘bespoke’ engagement is possible for clients with different priorities; and whether divestment is an appropriate action to create good outcomes.
