The Financial Services Council has published a new standard titled Principles of Internal Governance and Asset Stewardship: see here (pdf). The purpose of the standard is, to quote directly from it, "...to provide guidance to FSC Members who undertake the role of Asset Managers in setting and achieving best practice in fulfilling their fiduciary responsibility as custodians of one of the largest pools of managed funds in the world". The standard is mandatory for FSC full members from 1 July 2018. The standard will operate very much like the stewardship codes seen in other jurisdictions.
