Asset managers continue to prioritise climate, audit, diversity and engagement

The Investment Association has published an updated and expanded statement of shareholder priorities which defines asset manager expectations for UK-listed companies in 2023. The four main investor priorities are still climate change, diversity, audit quality and stakeholder engagement. These issues were originally identified in 2020 as key drivers of long-term value and have been retained for this year, alongside commentary on additional risks and challenges and the progress made by listed companies in the 2022 AGM season.
