Please indicate if your employer is considered an Asset Owner.
*Any individual, legal entity, association, partnership or organisation that meets the following criteria:
● long-term investment motivation and
● institutional investor at the top of the investment chain, directly accountable to beneficiaries or the government and
● investment discretion, including asset allocation, over all or most of its assets, (e.g. not subject to the direction of independent financial advisors (IFAs), or beneficiaries) and
● stable non-commercial governance arrangements or legislative frameworks (i.e. capital preservation and/or retirement provision is the primary motive, and they are ultimately answerable to pensioners or the government rather than shareholders)
OR
Any individual, legal entity, association, partnership or organisation that has the full discretionary mandate to invest on behalf of an Asset Owner including investment consulting firms offering managed, advisory, and/or fund-of-funds services.
