Frances Deakin, LPPI’s Head of Responsible Investment, talks to ESG Investor about the reasons why a whole scheme management model is the right approach for UK pension schemes.
“Stewardship encompasses everything that we manage, including our pension fund clients’ assets and reputation; it is not just about traditional activities such as engagement. Viewing stewardship as everything we do is my definition of responsible investment.”
“It's a centralised and expert professional service, which helps ensure that pension funds are compliant with relevant regulations. They retain sovereignty over strategic asset allocation, but pass the rest to us.”
