Voting

Our approach to engagement

The OEF predominantly owns interests in funds, rather than investing in companies directly, so engagement activities are carried out with the investment managers of those funds, rather than through voting. Understanding a manager’s own approach to engagement is a key area of due diligence and ongoing evaluation. OUem will enact any voting rights ascribed under the ownership structure.

OUem is also a member of the Investor Forum, an organisation established to facilitate collective engagement between institutional investors and UK listed companies, to encourage good stewardship of public companies.
