    Investment - stewardship in a changing landscape - episode 170

    Stewardship is one of the few real levers asset owners have over the companies they invest in, but stewardship ambitions have been retreating in recent years. So what still works, and what should schemes and institutional investors be doing differently? In this episode, Amy Sutherland is joined by Sanjay Joshi and Catherine Howarth OBE, chief executive of ShareAction, to explore why stewardship still matters and where it may be falling short. They discuss the case for votes against directors over shareholder resolutions, including a notable example from this year's NatWest Annual General Meeting (AGM). They also examine why bondholder stewardship remains underused and why investors may need to engage with AI firms before they go public. The discussion also covers NEST's Member Assembly and what it could mean for member representation as schemes consolidate. Listeners will come away with practical actions to help trustees and asset owners strengthen stewardship and hold managers and consultants to account. If you have any questions on anything covered throughout the episode, please get in touch.

    Investment - Capital call financing - Episode 164

    Private markets investors are increasingly looking beyond traditional direct lending opportunities. One area gaining attention is capital call financing, a niche but growing segment of the fund finance market that offers access to investment-grade private credit risk. In this episode, Viran Patel from Hymans Robertson is joined by Penny Cochrane and Shelley Morrison from Aberdeen. Together, they explore how capital call financing works, why the market has grown so rapidly and the role it can play within institutional portfolios. They discuss the evolution of the market, the shift from bank-led lending to greater participation from non-bank investors and the factors driving demand. They also explore the risk and return profile of these facilities, including the importance of manager selection, operational expertise and the quality of underlying investors. You'll hear how capital call financing differs from other private credit strategies, where it may fit within an investment-grade portfolio and the key considerations for investors assessing the opportunity. If you have questions on anything covered throughout the episode, please get in touch.
