Stewardship 2.0_CFA.jpg

CFA Institute reports on the awareness, effectiveness, and progression of Stewardship Codes in Australia, Hong Kong (SAR), India, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand including origins, definitions, enforcement, and compliance.

This report looks to provide unique insights from the perspective of institutional investors to show how they have applied stewardship codes in their professional capacity. Given that regulators and industry bodies in Asia Pacific are reviewing existing codes or contemplating the implementation of new ones, we believe these results will be useful in guiding the development of future codes. This report aims to provide recommendations to increase the awareness and effectiveness of stewardship codes specifically within the Asia Pacific markets.
