  • Changing Times INVESTING for a NEW WORLD ORDER?
    SUMMER 2018 Changing times INVESTING FOR A NEW WORLD ORDER? alliancetrustsavings.co.uk Welcome to the latest edition of Taking Stock. Changing times If this edition had a theme tune it might be something like Bob Dylan’s 1960s classic The Times They Are A-Changin’. Or at least that’s how it feels to many of us. US protectionism, Trump-style diplomacy, North Korea, Iran, Syria, Russia, China, Brexit, Facebook, Cambridge Analytica. These have all been headline makers for 2018 so far, and some have undoubtedly been implicated in increased market volatility. Around the world the political and economic power of nation states has always ebbed and flowed. Alliances are made and undone. And the fortunes of individual corporations rise and fall. But the question for investors today is, are we just looking at a variation on a theme of business as usual for the world’s established economic power base? Or is something else going on? Are we on the cusp of some more fundamental change in the world economic order? Keeping ahead of the curve Views on this matter because searching for growth necessarily involves looking ahead and understanding where the longer-term opportunities and threats are likely to be. In this edition of Taking Stock our expert contributors explore the potential implications of the developing picture. From how it’s influencing investment decisions today, to steps any investor can take to make the most of their money in uncertain times. As always, I hope you will find it an informative read. If you have any feedback or suggestions for future editions, please get in touch.

  • Responsible Investment
    RESPONSIBLE INVESTMENT VOTING AND ENGAGEMENT QUARTER 4, 2020 RESPONSIBLE INVESTMENT AT QUILTER CHEVIOT INTRODUCTION This is our quarter four 2020 report outlining Quilter Cheviot’s engagement and voting activity with the companies we invest in. Our client base is a mix of private client portfolios, small pension funds, trusts and charities; as a result we have a long tail of small holdings which represent legacy and cherished positions. It would be impractical to vote on all our equity and investment trust positions and therefore we have chosen to focus on our largest and most widely held positions where we can have the most influence. Given the nature of our predominantly UK client base, these are UK-listed equities and investment trusts. From the beginning of 2020 we expanded the voting universe to include companies listed in the UK where we own more than 0.2% or £2 million on behalf of discretionary clients. This means that our voting universe has more than doubled. Where clients wish to vote their holdings in a specific way we do so on a reasonable endeavours basis; this applies whether the investment is in the core universe or not, and also to overseas holdings. We ensured that six clients were able to instruct their votes over the last quarter. We use the ISS proxy voting service in order to inform our decision making, however we will not automatically implement its recommendations. When we meet a company to discuss governance issues the research analyst does so alongside the responsible investment team as we are committed to ensuring that responsible investment operates within our investment process rather than apart from it.
