Pension fund trustees across the world are under growing pressure to act as responsible owners of companies and to engage with the companies they invest in. This drive for dialogue is coming from a myriad of different stakeholders including regulators, beneficiaries and society at large. Corporate governance is increasingly considered to be an integral part of a trustee's fiduciary duty, as well as enhancing the long term performance of their investments.
Yet few funds and managers have the time, expertise or funds to develop an in-house resource to undertake activities of responsible share-ownership. EOS allows like-minded long-term investors to collaborate and undertake active share-ownership activities in an efficient and cost-effective way.
EOS delivers:The EOS delivery transcends the normal parameters of investor relations and socially responsible investment that often define the boundaries of 'engagement'.
