The ACT Standard

It's time to build an inclusive investment management industry and an equitable and sustainable society

Investment companies are under immense pressure to help shape an equitable and sustainable society. While they drive global change and action via their investment practises, their stakeholders demand similar change from them.

Amid increasing regulatory pressure, ACT is providing a framework to support investment companies to create cultural change and communicate progress effectively via reporting.

Signatory companies are applying the ACT framework to assess, measure and catalyse change across their business and clearly demonstrate commitment via the ACT mark.

Investing in positive change: ACT turns one year old

It's hard to believe it's been a year since we launched the ACT Framework and Standard, and what a year it's been!

We are proud to say that we now have close to 100 firms reporting on the Framework.

The mission that Bev, Mandy, and the team at City Hive have embarked on to drive  accountability, change and transparency  throughout the investment industry is both refreshing and important. When we (M&G Investments) heard about the ACT Standard and its purpose, we were keen to get involved. As an Asset Manager, we are being approached by more clients enquiring as to whether we have the ACT Standard in place”

  • Federated Hermes Signatory to ACT

    “It should go without saying that we want an asset management industry that is more inclusive and is serious about driving equality. It enhances and deepens the cultures of our firms and it is good for business performance. It is also something all our stakeholders expect of us. That is why we are proud to have been early adopters of the ACT Standard which is playing such an important role in helping to drive change and transparency across our industry. I’d like to congratulate the team at City Hive for their excellent and hard work on what is the one-year anniversary of the standard.”
