At SYPA, responsible investment remains a core principle of our approach. We believe that effective stewardship is essential to delivering sustainable, risk-adjusted returns that benefit our members and stakeholders over the long term.

Our Investment Manager, Michael Littlechild, led the latest submission process and played a key role in securing this recognition for a second year. He said:

“Being reconfirmed as a signatory to the UK Stewardship Code reinforces our continued commitment to responsible investment and transparency. It’s encouraging to see SYPA’s stewardship approach recognised again for the work we do to drive positive outcomes for our members and stakeholders.”

This successful renewal of our signatory status reflects the robust stewardship practices we apply across our investment activities and our continued focus on acting in the best interests of our members.
