Singapore Stewardship Principles (SSP) for Responsible Investors
In 2018, UOBAM became a supporter of the Singapore Stewardship Principles (SSP) for Responsible Investors, a set of principles intended to encourage investors to voluntarily pursue the spirit of stewardship and good governance. Since then, UOBAM has stepped up its responsible investing efforts by incorporating ESG considerations into the investment process for Asia ex-Japan Equities and Asia Fixed Income.
United Nations-supported Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI)
UOBAM also became an official signatory of the UN supported Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) in early 2020, a testament to UOB’s commitment to responsible investing and to developing sustainable investment solutions for customers.
The UN-supported PRI is an international network of investors working together to put the six Principles for Responsible Investment into practice.
Responsible investment practices are part of our fiduciary duty to our clients and we believe that the integration of ESG considerations into our investment processes is important not only from a risk management perspective but also key to ensuring long-term returns.
