Governance factors address how a company is directed and controlled, focusing on board composition, risk oversight, internal controls, transparency, and the alignment of incentives with long-term objectives.
Our Philosophy
We maintain formal governance policies and internal processes designed to support robust oversight, accountability, and risk management across the organisation. As part of Amundi, a UN Principles for Responsible Investment signatory, we ensure that our frameworks are aligned with internationally recognised responsible investment standards.
From an investment perspective, governance forms a core component of manager due diligence. Portfolio fund managers are assessed on governance structures, policies, and controls, including board oversight, decision-making processes, and alignment of interests, to support disciplined management and long-term value creation.
