2025
ACT Signatory Members

Foreword by Emma Wall, chief investment strategist at Hargreaves Lansdown and chair of the ACT Stewardship Council

I am pleased to share that 2025 was another year of growth for ACT Signatories – with the number of dedicated asset managers continuing to expand. There are now 41 Signatories, representing £13trn in AUM.

These firms are committed to transparency with their clients. They understand that strong corporate culture and embedded values are synonymous with generating alpha, retaining talent and supporting the foundations of their businesses. These firms have realised that profit and purpose are aligned.

Fund selectors using the ACT Framework report that the conversations they are having with asset managers over the last year have evolved significantly around the subject of culture – and not just firms that are ACT Signatories. Increasingly, the industry is realising how not prioritising culture will impact their business.

This progress is huge and we look forward to onboarding new Signatories, and working with the existing 41, throughout 2026.

Last year we launched our fiduciary revolution. This year we are excited to grow the movement, and see the positive impacts for our flows, revenues and – most importantly – client outcomes.
