Stewardship Report 2023

Welcome to our 2023 Stewardship Report, which aims to demonstrate Columbia Threadneedle Investments’ commitment to the UK Stewardship Code, Taiwan Stewardship Code, Japan Stewardship Code and Korea Stewardship Code. Specifically, we describe how we have approached and carried out our duty as responsible stewards of client capital during a year that has seen much market volatility and geopolitical risk.

As a global, active asset manager and a long-term investor, investment stewardship is critical to how we seek to deliver the investment outcomes our clients expect, while also meeting our fiduciary duty. Our stewardship approach is complementary to our investment approach as major shareholders and bondholders of companies all over the world – a responsibility we take seriously.
