Our principles

Under Rule 2.2.3R of the FCA's Conduct of Business Sourcebook, Catalyst Capital Management Limited (the "Firm") is required to include on this website a disclosure about the nature of its commitment to the UK Financial Reporting Council's Stewardship Code (the "Code") or, where it does not commit to the Code, its alternative investment strategy.

The Code sets out a number of principles relating to engagement by investors with UK equity issuers, as follows:

The seven principles of the Code are that institutional investors should:

• Publicly disclose their policy on how they will discharge their stewardship responsibilities;
• Have and publicly disclose a robust policy on managing conflicts of interest in relation to stewardship;
• Monitor their investee companies;
• Establish clear guidelines on when and how they will escalate their activities;
• Be willing to act collectively with other investors where appropriate;
• Have a clear policy on voting and disclosure of voting activity;
• Report periodically on their stewardship and voting activities.
