Commenting on today's publication of the IMA's fourth report on adherence to the FRC’s Stewardship Code, Executive Director Codes and Standards, Melanie Mclaren said:
"The FRC is pleased to see that asset manager mandates are referring more to stewardship and that investors are engaging on a broad range of issues. This is essential if we are to see the success of effective stewardship over the long term. The IMA’s work in this area is very helpful and FRC will be closely monitoring the AGM season to gather further information."
