Building on the innovation theme that came through strongly at this year’s PLSA Investment Conference in Edinburgh – and on the many varied and engaging presentations and discussions – a new shareholder Vote Reporting Template for asset managers was launched. The new template has been developed by the industry, for the industry and builds on the work of the FCA’s Vote Reporting Group (VRG) – co-chaired by Railpen’s Caroline Escott – and the PLSA’s existing Vote Reporting Template. The intention is that this creates a comprehensive, streamlined and simplified template for asset managers. In a panel discussion with the FCA’s Sacha Sadan, facilitated by the PLSA’s George Dollner, Caroline emphasised the fundamental importance of voting to good stewardship: “Asset owners need timely, standardised and accurate voting information to help them hold their managers to account and to ensure they are undertaking stewardship on members' behalf." She added: “We know that some asset managers were asking for this to be made mandatory, to support senior buy-in for the necessary investment. However, we think self-regulation – and monitoring take-up – is the right approach, at least initially.” Next steps on this are clear – and that is to develop FAQs followed by guidance to ensure asset managers have what they need to adopt and action the template. #VoteReporting #Stewardship #AssetManagement #PLSAinvest25

Unsurprisingly, how UK pensions schemes can support domestic innovation and growth featured highly at this year’s PLSA Investment Conference. Investing in the UK’s high growth science and tech ecosystem was one of the topics covered. Speaking alongside major investors in Cambridge and Oxford university spinouts as well as science and tech in the North of England – considered the world-leading businesses of tomorrow – Railpen’s Julia Diez explained how this asset class can provide significant growth over the long term as part of our overarching multi-asset approach and how this sees Railpen investing in late-stage private companies as well as early stage public companies. There was clear consensus across the panel that the UK is home to some of the best universities in the world and that they give rise to world-leading science and innovation. Universities have been an area of interest for Railpen for some time – in fact, we’re the biggest investor in IP Group plc, the original company set up to help commercialise this science and tech and which is still the biggest single investor in university spin outs in the UK. To be truly successful though, Julia was clear that we need to close the funding gap between what UK companies get and what they need and that the Mansion House Initiative is key to achieving this and thereby mitigating associated investment risk. In conclusion, the panel agreed that by coming together, UK institutions can support the UK ecosystem and drive investment, growth and jobs in the UK, while also generating long-term sustainable returns for pension scheme members. #UniversitySpinouts #ScienceAndTech #Innovation #VentureCapital #PLSAinvest25 Duncan Johnson Andrew Williamson
