We participate in initiatives that work to increase transparency, protect investors, and foster fair and efficient capital markets. We recognise that advocating for regulatory and legal reform can be more effective when market participants work together. Where interests are aligned, collaboration with like-minded investors can give us greater influence on issues specific to our investments and on broader, market-wide considerations. In either case, we work to encourage changes that are in the best interests of our clients.
