- 34 Sustainable funds, including rating 15 new funds during the year, to help our clients implement their investment strategies in a sustainable way
- 6% of XPS’s assets under advice invested in Sustainable funds.
- 7 sustainability based thought leadership pieces keeping our clients and wider stakeholders up to date on key topics

Alex Quant, Head of ESG Research said: “We continue to work closely with our clients and their investment managers to ensure robust stewardship across our clients’ investment strategies. Our 2022 Stewardship Code submission demonstrates some of the highlights of our activity supporting pension schemes to invest their assets in a responsible way.”
