The NAPF has been at the forefront of promoting good corporate governance for over 20 years, and as representatives of major institutional investors we have a real interest in seeing high standards achieved and maintained.
In the wake of the financial crisis, pension funds, other investors, government and the EU have been reviewing the effectiveness of corporate governance. This has led to a number of changes to the application of corporate governance policies. The NAPF has been heavily involved in shaping the debate to protect the interests of NAPF members.

The NAPF’s first ever Stewardship Policy sets out best practice for pension fund trustees and simply explains how funds should fulfil their stewardship responsibility.
The NAPF believes that “signing up” to the Code demonstrates that a pension fund believes companies should adhere to the highest standards of governance and that their managers should integrate the Code’s Principles into their investment processes.
A greater weight of pension fund signatories to the Code will further influence behavioural changes that lead to better stewardship by asset managers and companies.
