Measuring the Social, Environmental and Ethical Performance of Pension Funds Download

Description:

Pension funds constitute one of the largest investment sectors with more
than USD 14 trillion under management globally and growing fast
(Watson Wyatt, 2004). They are controlled by trustees who are required
to act in accordance with their fiduciary duty to beneficiaries – that is, to
maximise financial returns, whilst keeping risk at an acceptable level.2
Trustees in turn hire consultants and fund managers to invest funds in
domestic and international capital markets, predominantly in equities,
bonds, and property.
