Our Stewardship

Each year, we actively participate in the voting processes of the companies in which we invest, ensuring that our voices are heard on key issues that impact long-term value creation and sustainability. Even though we create mandates with external managers, all voting instructions are handled within AAIS to maintain consistency and alignment with our core values. Our report provides a comprehensive overview of the voting decisions and outlines our commitment to shareholder advocacy and responsible governance. We believe that transparency in our voting practices not only strengthens our accountability but also reinforces our dedication to fostering positive change in corporate behaviours. 

The engagement section of our report showcases the proactive measures we take to address critical environmental, social, and governance issues with companies. Given the unique nature of our business, engagement activities are conducted directly by our external investment managers as well as cohesively through EOS, an external party that engages with companies on sustainability issues to promote the interests of investors. Through constructive dialogue and collaboration, we aim to influence corporate practices and foster sustainable growth. This report highlights our key focus areas, the progress achieved, and the outcomes realised during our engagements. By sharing these insights, we reaffirm our commitment to being active stewards of our investments and driving meaningful impact. We invite you to delve into our engagements to see how we are working towards a more sustainable and equitable future.
