STEWARDSHIP CODE NOTICE
Under Rule 2.2.3R of the FCA's Conduct of Business Sourcebook, Fundsmith LLP 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 is a voluntary code and sets out a number of principles relating to engagement by investors with UK equity issuers. Investors that commit to the Code can either comply with it in full or choose not to comply with aspects of the Code, in which case they are required to explain their non compliance.
Fundsmith LLP is the manager of the Fundsmith Equity Fund which pursues a long only global equity strategy. As the investment manager to the fund we take a consistent approach to engagement with issuers and their management in all of the jurisdictions in which the fund invests and the partnership generally supports the objectives that underlie the Code, However, we do not consider it appropriate to commit to any particular voluntary code of practice relating to any individual jurisdiction and consequently we have chosen not to commit to the Code.
