Did you miss our webinar on investment stewardship resourcing? Recording now available!
On the 25th of June, Esgaia hosted a webinar with industry experts providing practical insights and perspectives to implement effective stewardship programs.
The industry increasingly recognises stewardship as a value-adding feature, able to improve the resilience also on system-level and of the financial system. However, despite the importance of adequate stewardship resourcing, the strategy is significantly under-resourced on industry level.
It is estimated that <5% of total front-line investment expenses are allocated to investment stewardship. To deliver against client and beneficiary interests over the long term, stewardship resources need to increase.
Aligned with fiduciary duty obligations, investors should focus on rightsizing resources to strategy, and vise versa. But it can be challenging to find a balance. In this webinar with industry experts, we will provide practical insights and perspectives on stewardship resourcing to implement effective stewardship programs.
