UK: NAPF's Pension Fund Engagement with Companies 2009 survey

The National Association of Pension Funds has published its Pension Funds Engagement with Companies Survey 2009. In the accompanying press release it is stated: 

Key findings from the National Association of Pension Funds 2009 engagement survey show that nearly half (49%) of pension schemes will spend more time scrutinising the actions of their fund managers on engagement issues as a result of the economic crisis. Over three quarters of funds (78%) said they will give more time to reviewing reporting and 57% said they will pay more attention to votes cast. The survey examined the engagement policies and practices of pension schemes with assets totaling nearly £200 billion".
