We are committed to investing responsibly.
We are committed to investing responsibly.
Our approach to responsible investing includes the consideration of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors, alongside financial factors, in a proportionate and applicable manner in the active investment decisions across our different investment strategies, supported by stewardship activities. This involves active stewardship of the companies we invest in through dialogue with company management on ESG factors as well as commercial matters and intelligent voting at company meetings when we have the opportunity to do so.
Our TCFD reports are designed to help you understand more about the effect our Company and our funds have on the climate as well as the effect that changes to the climate may have on the Premier Miton funds and will allow you to compare a range of climate metrics for our funds with other funds. The reports have been produced in line with the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (‘TCFD’) and adheres to the Financial Conduct Authority’s rules on climate- related disclosures.
When considering ESG factors alongside financial factors, we can enhance our decision making by considering all available information on whether an investment is suitable for inclusion in a fund. When applied, this is undertaken across the entire investment process including in company research and analysis, portfolio monitoring and buying and selling decisions. We believe that this can lead to improved decision making, better outcomes for investors in the funds and support our broader investment responsibilities.
Once we have invested in a company, we take our stewardship responsibilities seriously, regularly meeting companies and having productive dialogue with company management and their boards. We also aim to actively vote at company meetings when we have the opportunity.
For most of our investment strategies, we aim to be in contact with and preferably meet the companies we invest in annually. However, this is not always possible. When we engage with companies, we do so through a number of channels, with the aim of developing our understanding of their business strategy, financial position and prospects, amongst other factors, including ESG.
We believe this ongoing engagement process can play an important role in helping to assess the investment case for buying, holding or selling a position in a company, as well as allowing us the opportunity to promote good practice, covering ESG factors, to encourage further, positive change.
We aim to actively vote at all meetings where we have the opportunity. We consider third party voting research and our company knowledge in voting activity and our voting policy guides our decisions.
Voting records
Under the UK Stewardship Code, we report annually on the stewardship activities that have been undertaken by Premier Miton in support of delivering good client outcomes. Additionally, we publish our quarterly voting records.
We are pleased be a signatory to the Financial Reporting Council’s UK Stewardship Code. Good stewardship includes the responsible allocation, management and oversight of capital to create long-term value for our clients, leading to sustainable benefits for the economy, the environment and society. This is a key part of our active investment strategies, covering different asset classes including equities, fixed income and property.
To demonstrate our commitment to responsible investing, we are members of the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), a United Nations (UN) supported global initiative that promotes responsible investing through six principles that guide investors.
The Principles for Responsible Investment are a voluntary and aspirational set of investment principles that offer a menu of possible actions for incorporating ESG issues into investment practice. The Principles were developed by investors, for investors. In implementing them, signatories contribute to developing a more sustainable global financial system.
For those funds with non-financial objectives, we use the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as part of our process for assessing and measuring whether these objectives have been achieved.
The 17 SDGs are a globally recognised framework for reporting sustainable outcomes and were adopted by UN member states in 2015. They provide a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity on the planet and recognise that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests.
Premier Miton supports the goals of the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius, and preferably to 1.5, compared to pre-industrial levels. We are committed to targets to reduce the carbon emissions associated with our investment portfolios which are included in our Net Zero Asset Management (NZAM) initiative’s statement. As part of making this commitment we have become members of the Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change (IIGCC) and signatories to the Net Zero Engagement Initiative which will support our activities
For more information about NZAM see https://www.netzeroassetmanagers.org/ and IIGCC at https://www.iigcc.org/
Following Premier Miton Group’s participation in CDP, we extended the partnership to encourage climate disclosure across the companies in which our funds invest, where practical. Through the CDP non-disclosure campaign, we annually contact a number of companies that do not disclose relevant data and information to highlight the importance of measurement, disclosure and management of carbon emissions. Encouragingly, following our engagement, a number of new companies have reported for the first time.
We are delighted that Premier Miton is a signatory to Climate Action 100+, an investor-led initiative to ensure the world’s largest corporate greenhouse gas emitters take necessary action on climate change. More than 700 investors, responsible for over $68 trillion in assets under management, are engaging companies on improving climate change governance, cutting emissions and strengthening climate-related financial disclosures. As a signatory to Climate Action 100+, Premier Miton has committed to participating in engagements with a number of relevant companies that are critical to the net zero carbon transition.
We are committed to investing responsibly across our fund range. We also offer a range of dedicated responsible and sustainable investing funds, covering ESG and sustainable investment criteria.
