Regulatory Disclosures
The revised Shareholder Rights Directive (SRD II) came into force in the UK on 4 September 2020 with a view to increasing transparency between issuers and their shareholders and encouraging investors to engage more frequently in shareholder voting activities.
The new compliance obligations mean that the provision of proxy voting services is a fundamental requirement for intermediaries focused on either retail or institutional investors.
Stanhope Capital LLP invests across all asset classes mainly through funds and provide asset management to private clients and institutions.
We do not generally invest in listed equities, however, when holding equities the approach is proxy vote in line with management recommendations except in exceptional circumstances. We do not otherwise consider shareholder engagement in our investment strategy.
This statement is reviewed annually.
United Kingdom’s Stewardship Code
The Stewardship Code (the “Code”) was developed from the Walker Review on Corporate Governance in the UK and aims to enhance the quality of engagement between investors (and investment managers) and UK listed companies. Although the Code is voluntary, the Financial Conduct Authority requires Stanhope Capital LLP to include on this Website a disclosure about its commitment to the Code or, where it does not so commit, its alternative strategy.
Stanhope Capital LLP is an independently owned investment firm which provides wealth management, corporate finance and consulting services to substantial private clients, charities and endowments across the world. As stated elsewhere on this website, with regard to quoted equities, our strategy is to focus investment in funds which are managed by external investment managers or select external managers. Therefore, we rarely invest directly in quoted equities and whilst we support the general objectives behind the Code, we do not consider that it is appropriate for us to commit to the Code. However, when selecting managers and externally managed funds we are looking for managers with a robust approach to corporate governance and we consider that membership of the Stewardship code is consistent with this approach.
