UK Stewardship Code
The UK Stewardship Code (‘the UK Code’) was adopted by the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) in July 2010 and subsequently revised in 2012 and in 2020 (‘the 2020 UK code’). The UK Code sets stewardship standards for asset owners and asset managers, and for service providers that support them.
Credit Suisse Asset Management (CSAM) is not a signatory of the 2020 UK code as it does not engage with nor vote as a shareholder in respect of UK listed companies given its investment teams do not invest in such companies.
CSAM adopts a long-term investment strategy, that is focused on its client’s interests with the aim of preserving and protecting the value of investments, and it adheres to the EFAMA Stewardship Code.
