Rathbones has renewed its membership of the UK Stewardship Code, after its latest compliance statement for April 2024 to March 2025.
The Stewardship Code, set by the Financial Reporting Council, lays out standards for asset managers and owners on responsible investment and stewardship.
The latest accreditation marks the first full year since Rathbones’ merger with Investec Wealth & Investment was approved.
The business has put in place a new governance structure to support responsible investment, with stronger oversight at group and Rathbones asset management levels.
Matt Crossman, stewardship director at Rathbones, said: “Our purpose is to think, act and invest for everyone’s tomorrow.
“This not only shapes what we do but also how we do it.
“It is woven throughout our business strategy and values, recognising that this approach is core to our day–to–day decision-making.”
Crossman added: “Our clients grant us the privilege of acting for them to invest well, so how we act as stewards is a critical part of what differentiates us as a firm.
“We believe responsible stewardship and long-term thinking are core to preserving and enhancing value for clients, society and the planet.”
