Nature of commitment to the UK Stewardship Code
Under the Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) Conduct of Business Sourcebook Rule 2.2.3, H2O Asset Management LLP (H2O) is required to make a public disclosure on its website in relation to its commitment to the Financial Reporting Council’s (FRC) Stewardship Code (hereafter, the Code).
In October 2019, a substantially revised and strengthened UK Stewardship Code was published and took effect on 1 January 2020. The revised version comprises a set of twelve Principles, implemented on an ‘apply and explain’ basis. These Principles apply to asset managers and asset owners, with a separate set of six Principles applying to service providers. The revised Code defines stewardship as “the responsible allocation, management and oversight of capital to create long-term value for clients and beneficiaries leading to sustainable benefits for the economy, the environment and society.”
Whilst H2O strongly endorses this definition of stewardship and the purpose of the Code, we are currently not a signatory due to the nature of our investment approach, which is essentially top-down and global macro.
H2O’s investment strategy is driven by views on the government bond, credit and currency markets, with the majority of positions taken through derivative contracts such as futures, and with limited allocation to individual equity securities and corporate bonds. We are currently exploring possible approaches to exercising stewardship activities across our investment universe, notably by incorporating ESG criteria into our investment decisions (Principle 7). We will therefore review our approach to the Code in the future and update this disclosure accordingly.
