Voting Globally
Policy and Practice
The Fund has its own detailed 
Voting Principles 2023 [1Mb] which aims to deal with issues that are either not covered by the UK Corporate Governance Code, require greater emphasis or are specifically left open for shareholders to resolve with company boards.
For the remaining markets in which we invest, we currently endorse PIRC's International Shareholder Voting Principles [693kb].
The Fund uses a proxy voting agency, appointed by LGPS Central Ltd, for analysis of governance issues and executing its proxy voting rights across all markets in which it invests.

The Fund is committed to transparency with respect to its voting activity. To that end, and in accordance with best practice, the Fund discloses its voting activities on a vote-by-vote basis. To view the Fund's voting record, published through LGPS Central Ltd, please click here.
