SHAREHOLDER INQUIRIES
Corporate Governance
The Board recognises the value of sound corporate governance and, in particular, has regard to the requirements of the UK Code (available from the FRC’s website).
The Company is a registered closed-ended investment scheme pursuant to the Protection of Investors (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law, 1987, as amended, and the Registered Collective Investment Schemes Rules 2015 issued by the GFSC. The GFSC has issued a Finance Sector Code of Corporate Governance (“GFSC Code”) that applies to all companies that hold a licence from the GFSC under the regulatory laws or which are registered or authorised as Collective Investment Schemes, which includes the Company. The GFSC has stated in the GFSC Code that companies which report against the UK Code or the AIC Code are deemed to meet their code, and need take no further action.
The Company’s prospectus dated 14 October 2019 stated that the Company will be in compliance with the UK Code. The Company became a member of the AIC on listing and the Board of the Company has accordingly considered, and resolved to follow, the principles and recommendations of the AIC Code (available from the AIC’s website).
The AIC Code addresses all the principles set out in the UK Code, as well as setting out additional principles and recommendations on issues that are of specific relevance to investment companies such as the Company. The Board considers that reporting against the principles and recommendations of the AIC Code (which incorporates the UK Code) provides better information to shareholders whilst meeting the requirements of the GFSC Code.
In respect of the period from re-domiciliation until 30 October 2019, the date of admission to the SFS, the Company substantially complied in all material respects with the relevant provisions of the GFSC Code. As from the date of initial admission, the Company has voluntarily committed to comply with the 2019 AIC Code.
The Company currently complies with the principles and provisions of the AIC code.
For the reasons set out in the preamble to the UK Code, the Board considers certain of these provisions are not relevant to the position of the Company as an externally managed investment company. In particular all of the Company’s day-to-day management and administrative functions are outsourced to third parties. As a result, the Company has no chief executive or any executive directors, employees or internal operations and has therefore not reported further in respect of these provisions.
Provision 14 of the AIC Code states a Board should consider appointing one independent non-executive Director to be the Senior Independent Director. The Board, having taken into account its small size and that the Chairman and two of the other three Directors are each similarly independent and non-executive, considers it unnecessary to appoint such a Senior Independent Director. All members of the Board are available to shareholders if they have unresolved concerns.
The need for an internal audit function is discussed in the Report of the Audit Committee.
