Our work with Investors

Pension investments have power: the power to effect change

With pension funds' investments totalling around £1.2trillion, or the equivalent of the entire UK stock market, investors can influence corporate behaviour through exercising their shareholder rights and influence. We believe the best way for investors to improve the behaviour of big business (while maximising their own earnings) is through dialogue and persuasion, rather than picking and choosing investments ("screening”). That’s why at FairPensions our focus is on engaging with pension funds, asset managers and pension fund trustees on the issue of Responsible Investment.

Dialogue

The industry expertise of our staff and our board allows us both to understand the investor perspective and articulate the case for Responsible Investment persuasively.

A constant process of relationship-building with key players keeps us in dialogue.

  

Training

Responsible Investment is a complex and relatively new issue, in which few investors have the time to become experts. We synthesise the latest research and arguments for you in training programmes.

Please contact our Director of Investor Engagement, Louise Rouse, if you would like us to provide training for you.

Research & Publications

Our industry benchmarking surveys have fast become an authoritative guide to the leaders and laggards in the pension industry, as well as a valuable resource on best practice. The very act of regularly measuring industry accountability has resulted in a quantifiable improvement in performance over just two years.

  

Presentations

FairPensions gives a credible and respected voice to Responsible Investment at industry conferences and seminars, presenting at events such as The Ethical and Investment Banking Seminar, The Institutional Investor’s Congress and National Association of Pension Funds Conference.

Media Work

As part of our wider media presence, FairPensions publishes articles and commentary in leading specialist publications, as well as the national press. We are frequently cited in publications including the Financial Times, BBC, The Guardian, Independent, Daily Mail and Telegraph.
