THE UK STEWARDSHIP CODE
In July 2010, the UK’s Financial Reporting Council published "The UK Stewardship Code." This Code comprises a set of guidelines aimed at improving the ways in which institutional investors interact with the management of companies in which they invest. In addition it proposes measures to increase the level of transparency surrounding institutional investors’ activities as shareholders for the benefit of their underlying clients.
This section of the Terms explains how Barclays Investment Solutions Limited (BISL) address the measures proposed in these guidelines.
BISL provides investment management services to professional investors in the UK which invest via a multi-manager and/or a fund of fund structure. BISL may choose to outsource the selection of stocks, to other investment managers by either investing into a fund or by giving a number of managers a portion of the money raised from underlying fund investors. BISL selects managers through a thorough due diligence process, focusing in every case on identifying managers capable of generating the best risk-adjusted returns in the asset class or strategy for which delegation is sought.
As part of the manager selection process, and on an ongoing basis, BISL will consider numerous factors around the manager’s proposed investment strategy and their performance against that strategy as part of an established due diligence process.

THE UK STEWARDSHIP CODE
In July 2010, the UK’s Financial Reporting Council published "The UK Stewardship Code." This Code comprises a set of guidelines aimed at improving the ways in which institutional investors interact with the management of companies in which they invest. In addition it proposes measures to increase the level of transparency surrounding institutional investors’ activities as shareholders for the benefit of their underlying clients.
This section of the Terms explains how Barclays Investment Solutions Limited (BISL) address the measures proposed in these guidelines.
BISL provides investment management services to professional investors in the UK which invest via a multi-manager and/or a fund of fund structure. BISL may choose to outsource the selection of stocks, to other investment managers by either investing into a fund or by giving a number of managers a portion of the money raised from underlying fund investors. BISL selects managers through a thorough due diligence process, focusing in every case on identifying managers capable of generating the best risk-adjusted returns in the asset class or strategy for which delegation is sought.
As part of the manager selection process, and on an ongoing basis, BISL will consider numerous factors around the manager’s proposed investment strategy and their performance against that strategy as part of an established due diligence process.
We are signatories to the Stewardship Code. [PDF, 2.2MB]

THE UK STEWARDSHIP CODE
In July 2010, the UK’s Financial Reporting Council published "The UK Stewardship Code." This Code comprises a set of guidelines aimed at improving the ways in which institutional investors interact with the management of companies in which they invest. In addition it proposes measures to increase the level of transparency surrounding institutional investors’ activities as shareholders for the benefit of their underlying clients.
This section of the Terms explains how Barclays Investment Solutions Limited (BISL) address the measures proposed in these guidelines.
BISL provides investment management services to professional investors in the UK which invest via a multi-manager and/or a fund of fund structure. BISL may choose to outsource the selection of stocks, to other investment managers by either investing into a fund or by giving a number of managers a portion of the money raised from underlying fund investors. BISL selects managers through a thorough due diligence process, focusing in every case on identifying managers capable of generating the best risk-adjusted returns in the asset class or strategy for which delegation is sought.
As part of the manager selection process, and on an ongoing basis, BISL will consider numerous factors around the manager’s proposed investment strategy and their performance against that strategy as part of an established due diligence process.
We are signatories to the Stewardship Code. [PDF, 2.2MB]

THE UK STEWARDSHIP CODE
In July 2010, the UK’s Financial Reporting Council published "The UK Stewardship Code." This Code comprises a set of guidelines aimed at improving the ways in which institutional investors interact with the management of companies in which they invest. In addition it proposes measures to increase the level of transparency surrounding institutional investors’ activities as shareholders for the benefit of their underlying clients.
This section of the Terms explains how Barclays Investment Solutions Limited (BISL) address the measures proposed in these guidelines.
BISL provides investment management services to professional investors in the UK which invest via a multi-manager and/or a fund of fund structure. BISL may choose to outsource the selection of stocks, to other investment managers by either investing into a fund or by giving a number of managers a portion of the money raised from underlying fund investors. BISL selects managers through a thorough due diligence process, focusing in every case on identifying managers capable of generating the best risk-adjusted returns in the asset class or strategy for which delegation is sought.
As part of the manager selection process, and on an ongoing basis, BISL will consider numerous factors around the manager’s proposed investment strategy and their performance against that strategy as part of an established due diligence process.

THE UK STEWARDSHIP CODE
In July 2010, the UK’s Financial Reporting Council published "The UK Stewardship Code." This Code comprises a set of guidelines aimed at improving the ways in which institutional investors interact with the management of companies in which they invest. In addition it proposes measures to increase the level of transparency surrounding institutional investors’ activities as shareholders for the benefit of their underlying clients.
This section of the Terms explains how Barclays Investment Solutions Limited (BISL) address the measures proposed in these guidelines.
BISL provides investment management services to professional investors in the UK which invest via a multi-manager and/or a fund of fund structure. BISL may choose to outsource the selection of stocks, to other investment managers by either investing into a fund or by giving a number of managers a portion of the money raised from underlying fund investors. BISL selects managers through a thorough due diligence process, focusing in every case on identifying managers capable of generating the best risk-adjusted returns in the asset class or strategy for which delegation is sought.
As part of the manager selection process, and on an ongoing basis, BISL will consider numerous factors around the manager’s proposed investment strategy and their performance against that strategy as part of an established due diligence process.
We are signatories to the Stewardship Code. [PDF, 2.2MB]

THE UK STEWARDSHIP CODE
In July 2010, the UK’s Financial Reporting Council published "The UK Stewardship Code." This Code comprises a set of guidelines aimed at improving the ways in which institutional investors interact with the management of companies in which they invest. In addition it proposes measures to increase the level of transparency surrounding institutional investors’ activities as shareholders for the benefit of their underlying clients.
This section of the Terms explains how Barclays Investment Solutions Limited (BISL) address the measures proposed in these guidelines.
BISL provides investment management services to professional investors in the UK which invest via a multi-manager and/or a fund of fund structure. BISL may choose to outsource the selection of stocks, to other investment managers by either investing into a fund or by giving a number of managers a portion of the money raised from underlying fund investors. BISL selects managers through a thorough due diligence process, focusing in every case on identifying managers capable of generating the best risk-adjusted returns in the asset class or strategy for which delegation is sought.
As part of the manager selection process, and on an ongoing basis, BISL will consider numerous factors around the manager’s proposed investment strategy and their performance against that strategy as part of an established due diligence process.
We are signatories to the Stewardship Code. [PDF, 2.2MB]

LOI APPLICABLE ET ENDROIT OÙ LES LITIGES SERONT TRAITÉS
Les présentes Conditions, ainsi que toute obligation non contractuelle qui en découle ou qui y est associée, sont régies par le droit anglais. Les tribunaux d'Angleterre ont compétence exclusive pour régler tout litige découlant du présent Accord ou y afférent et toute obligation non contractuelle découlant des présentes Conditions ou y afférente.
LE CODE BRITANNIQUE DE BONNE GOUVERNANCE (« UK STEWARDSHIP CODE »)
En juillet 2010, le conseil britannique d’information financière (« UK’s Financial Reporting Council ») a publié le « code britannique de bonne gouvernance ». Ce code comprend un ensemble de lignes directrices visant à améliorer la manière dont les investisseurs professionnels communiquent avec les organes de gestion des sociétés dans lesquelles ils investissent. Le code propose également des mesures destinées à renforcer la transparence concernant les activités exercées par les investisseurs professionnels, en leur qualité de détenteurs de participations dans les fonds, dans l’intérêt de leurs clients sous-jacents.
La présente partie des Conditions explique la manière dont Barclays Investment Solutions Limited répond aux mesures proposées dans ces lignes directrices.
BISL fournit des services de gestion de placements aux investisseurs professionnels au Royaume-Uni qui investissent via un multi-gestionnaire et / ou un fonds de structure de fonds. BISL peut choisir d’externaliser la sélection des titres, à d’autres gestionnaires d’investissements, soit en investissant dans un fonds, soit en versant à un certain nombre de gestionnaires une portion des sommes levé de fins d’investissement auprès d’investisseurs dans des fonds sous-jacents. BISL sélectionne les gestionnaires à l’issue d’une procédure de due diligence rigoureuse, en nous concentrant dans tous les cas sur la nécessité d’identifier gestionnaires capables de générer d’offrir les meilleurs rendements corrigés dans la classe d’actifs ou dans le cadre de la stratégie pour laquelle une délégation est demandée.
Dans le cadre de la procédure de sélection du gestionnaire, et de manière continue par la suite, BISL nous examinerons de nombreux facteurs se rapportant à la proposition de stratégie d’investissement du gestionnaire et à la performance de celui-ci au regard de cette stratégie dans le cadre d’un processus de diligence raisonnable établi.

D'ici le 25 juin 2023, tous les États membres doivent avoir mis en place au moins un mécanisme procédural permettant aux entités qualifiées, telles que les organismes de protection des consommateurs ou les organes publics, d'intenter des actions en justice afin d'obtenir des injonctions (mettant fin ou interdisant) ainsi que des mesures de réparation (compensation).

O “Stewardship Code” do Reino Unido
Em julho de 2010, o Financial Reporting Council do Reino Unido publicou “The UK Stewardship Code”. Este Código compreende um conjunto de orientações destinadas a melhorar as formas em que os investidores institucionais interagem com as administrações das empresas nas quais investem. Além disso, propõe medidas para aumentar o nível de transparência em torno das atividades dos investidores institucionais, na qualidade de acionistas, para benefício de seus clientes subjacentes.
Esta secção dos Termos explica como a Barclays Investment Solutions Limited (BISL) trata as medidas propostas nestas orientações.
A BISL presta serviços de gestão de investimentos a investidores profissionais no Reino Unido que investem através de um multigestor e/ou de um fundo de estrutura de fundos. A BISL pode optar por externalizar a seleção de ações a outros gestores de investimento, investindo num fundo ou oferecendo a vários gestores uma parte do dinheiro levantados de investimento dos investidores de fundos subjacentes. BISL seleciona gestores através de um processo exaustivo de análise, cujo enfoque em cada caso é a identificação de gestores capazes de gerar o melhor retorno ajustado ao grau de risco na classe de ativos ou estratégia em relação para a qual se pretende delegar.
Como parte do processo de seleção de gestores e, de forma permanente, BISL iremos considerar inúmeros fatores em torno da estratégia de investimento proposta pelo gestor e respetivo desempenho face a essa estratégia como parte de um processo de diligência devida estabelecido.

Na União Europeia, a Diretiva (UE) 2020/1828 introduz um modelo harmonizado de ação representativa destinado a garantir que os consumidores estão bem protegidos contra danos em massa, mas também que existem salvaguardas adequadas para evitar ações judiciais abusivas.

Até 25 de junho de 2023, todos os Estados-Membros devem ter criado pelo menos um mecanismo processual eficaz que permita às entidades qualificadas, tais como organizações de consumidores ou organismos públicos, intentar ações judiciais em tribunal para efeitos de injunção (cessação ou proibição) ou reparação (compensação).»

Η επένδυση στα προϊόντα που αναφέρονται σε αυτόν τον ιστότοπο ενδέχεται να μην είναι κατάλληλη για όλους τους επενδυτές και να παρουσιάζει σημαντικό βαθμό κινδύνου. Θα πρέπει να διαβάσετε προσεκτικά και να βεβαιωθείτε ότι κατανοείτε τους παράγοντες κινδύνου στο σχετικό ενημερωτικό δελτίο. Οι επενδυτικές πληροφορίες που ενδέχεται να παρέχονται σε αυτόν τον ιστότοπο παρέχονται μόνο εν είδει παραδείγματος. Τα παραδείγματα πιθανών χαρακτηριστικών κινδύνου και ανταμοιβής σε σχέση με τα χαρτοφυλάκια και τις επενδύσεις του ιστότοπου δεν αποτελούν συγκεκριμένες συμβουλές για οποιαδήποτε επένδυση και δεν πρέπει να βασίζεστε σε αυτά. Τα παραδείγματα είναι ακριβή μόνο κατά τον χρόνο της σύνταξης και ενδέχεται να αλλάξουν.
Οι συστάσεις που σας γίνονται για το τρέχον χαρτοφυλάκιό σας ενδέχεται να διαφέρουν από την όποια κατανομή ενεργητικού ή τις στρατηγικές που περιγράφονται σε αυτόν τον ιστότοπο.

ΚΙΝΔΥΝΟΙ ΠΟΥ ΣΥΝΔΕΟΝΤΑΙ ΜΕ ΤΗΝ ΕΠΕΝΔΥΤΙΚΗ ΑΠΟΔΟΣΗ
Η αξία των επενδύσεων που μπορεί να αναφέρεται σε αυτόν τον ιστότοπο, καθώς και το εισόδημα από αυτές, ενδέχεται να μειωθούν αλλά και να αυξηθούν. Οι προηγούμενες επιδόσεις των επενδύσεων δεν αποτελούν οδηγό για τις μελλοντικές.
Οι διακυμάνσεις των συναλλαγματικών ισοτιμιών μπορούν να επηρεάσουν την αξία των επενδύσεων που περιλαμβάνουν έκθεση σε ξένα νομίσματα.
Μπορεί να μην λάβετε πίσω το ποσό του κεφαλαίου που επενδύσατε. Οι όποιες προβλέψεις εισοδήματος και αποδόσεων που υπολογίζονται και περιλαμβάνονται είναι μόνο ενδεικτικές. Επιπλέον, οι αποτιμήσεις που παρέχονται σε αυτόν τον ιστότοπο ενδέχεται να μην αντικατοπτρίζουν επακριβώς τις αξίες στις οποίες οι επενδύσεις μπορούν πραγματικά να αγοραστούν ή να πωληθούν και δεν έχει ληφθεί υπόψη η φορολογία.
Τα δεδομένα που είναι διαθέσιμα σε αυτόν τον ιστότοπο βασίζονται σε ποσοτική έρευνα και ανάλυση ιστορικών δεδομένων, χρησιμοποιώντας τρέχουσες και προτεινόμενες σταθμίσεις ενεργητικού και αποκλειστικές προβλέψεις αναμενόμενων αποδόσεων, καθώς και εκτιμήσεις μελλοντικής μεταβλητότητας. Τα δεδομένα δεν αντικατοπτρίζουν την πραγματική διαπραγμάτευση, περιορισμούς ρευστότητας, αμοιβές και άλλα κόστη. Δεν πρέπει να εκλαμβάνονται ως πρόβλεψη ή εκτίμηση πιθανών μελλοντικών αποδόσεων. Με δεδομένο ότι στα παραδείγματα δεν συνεκτιμώνται οι αμοιβές και οι προμήθειες ή η φορολογία, οι πραγματικές επιδόσεις οποιασδήποτε επένδυσης ενδέχεται να είναι μεγαλύτερες ή μικρότερες από αυτές που αναφέρονται σε ένα παράδειγμα.
ΝΟΜΙΚΕΣ ΚΑΙ ΦΟΡΟΤΕΧΝΙΚΕΣ ΣΥΜΒΟΥΛΕΣ
Δεν παρέχουμε νομικές ή φοροτεχνικές συμβουλές και σας συνιστούμε να λάβετε τις δικές σας ανεξάρτητες νομικές συμβουλές και ανεξάρτητες φοροτεχνικές συμβουλές, προσαρμοσμένες στην ιδιαίτερη κατάστασή σας, πριν προβείτε σε οποιαδήποτε επένδυση. Προκειμένου να σας παρέχουμε πληροφορίες για τα προϊόντα και τις υπηρεσίες μας, ενδέχεται να σας εξηγήσουμε πώς αντιλαμβανόμαστε τη γενική φορολογική θέση που σχετίζεται με αυτά. Δεν αναλαμβάνουμε καμία νομική ευθύνη για οποιονδήποτε ενεργεί βάσει των παρεχόμενων πληροφοριών και, επειδή η φορολογική νομοθεσία υπόκειται σε συχνές αλλαγές, η θέση σας θα πρέπει να ελέγχεται με έναν ανεξάρτητο επαγγελματία σύμβουλο.
Η ΕΥΘΥΝΗ ΜΑΣ ΑΠΕΝΑΝΤΙ ΣΑΣ

Κανένας από τους αντιπροσώπους μας δεν θα ευθύνεται άμεσα απέναντί σας με οποιονδήποτε τρόπο.

Ο ΚΩΔΙΚΑΣ ΔΙΑΧΕΙΡΙΣΗΣ (STEWARDSHIP CODE) ΤΟΥ ΗΒ
Τον Ιούλιο του 2010, το Συμβούλιο Χρηματοοικονομικής Πληροφόρησης (Financial Reporting Council) του Ηνωμένου Βασιλείου δημοσίευσε τον «Κώδικα Διαχείρισης του Ηνωμένου Βασιλείου». Αυτός ο Κώδικας περιλαμβάνει ένα σύνολο κατευθυντήριων γραμμών που στοχεύουν στη βελτίωση των τρόπων με τους οποίους οι θεσμικοί επενδυτές αλληλεπιδρούν με τη διοίκηση των εταιρειών στις οποίες επενδύουν. Επιπλέον, ο Κώδικας εισηγείται μέτρα για την αύξηση του επιπέδου διαφάνειας σχετικά με τις δραστηριότητες των θεσμικών επενδυτών ως μετόχων προς όφελος των υποκείμενων πελατών τους.
Αυτή η ενότητα των Όρων επεξηγεί πώς η Barclays Investment Solutions Limited (BISL) εφαρμόζει τα μέτρα που προτείνονται σε αυτές τις κατευθυντήριες γραμμές.
Η BISL παρέχει υπηρεσίες διαχείρισης επενδύσεων σε επαγγελματίες επενδυτές στο Ηνωμένο Βασίλειο που επενδύουν μέσω δομής πολλαπλών διαχειριστών και/ή fund of fund. Η BISL μπορεί να επιλέξει να αναθέσει την επιλογή των μετοχών σε άλλους διαχειριστές επενδύσεων είτε επενδύοντας σε ένα αμοιβαίο κεφάλαιο είτε δίνοντας σε έναν αριθμό διαχειριστών ένα μέρος των χρημάτων που συγκεντρώθηκαν από τους επενδυτές υποκείμενων κεφαλαίων. Η BISL επιλέγει διαχειριστές μέσω μιας διεξοδικής διαδικασίας δέουσας επιμέλειας, δίνοντας έμφαση σε κάθε περίπτωση στον εντοπισμό διαχειριστών ικανών να παράγουν τις καλύτερες αποδόσεις, προσαρμοσμένες στον κίνδυνο ανά κατηγορία στοιχείων ενεργητικού ή ανάλογα με τη στρατηγική για την οποία ζητείται η ανάθεση.
Ως μέρος της διαδικασίας επιλογής διαχειριστή και σε συνεχή βάση, η BISL θα εξετάσει πολυάριθμους παράγοντες σε σχέση με την προτεινόμενη επενδυτική στρατηγική του διαχειριστή και την απόδοσή τους έναντι αυτής της στρατηγικής στο πλαίσιο καθιερωμένης διαδικασίας δέουσας επιμέλειας.

Σε σχέση με την επένδυσή σας σε αμοιβαίο κεφάλαιο ΟΣΕΚΑ, η Barclays Investment Solutions Limited θα θέσει στη διάθεση των επενδυτών τις ακόλουθες υπηρεσίες τοπικών διευκολύνσεων:
(i) ανατρέξτε στην ενότητα «Επικοινωνία» στους Όρους και Προϋποθέσεις για πληροφορίες σχετικά με καταγγελίες επενδυτών σε δικαιοδοσίες όπου διατίθεται η επένδυσή σας,

Αυτές οι διευκολύνσεις θα τίθενται στη διάθεσή σας είτε σε μια επίσημη γλώσσα της δικαιοδοσίας σας είτε σε γλώσσα εγκεκριμένη από την τοπική ρυθμιστική αρχή.

Όλοι οι αιτούντες πρέπει να συμπληρώσουν ένα έντυπο αίτησης που ορίζεται από τους διευθυντές σε σχέση με το αμοιβαίο κεφάλαιο. Ένα έντυπο αίτησης συνοδεύει το ενημερωτικό δελτίο του αμοιβαίου κεφαλαίου και καθορίζει τις μεθόδους με τις οποίες και σε ποιους πρέπει να αποστέλλονται τα χρήματα της εγγραφής. Κάθε μέτοχος θα έχει το δικαίωμα να απαιτήσει από την εταιρεία να εξαγοράσει τις μετοχές του στο αμοιβαίο κεφάλαιο, σε οποιαδήποτε ημέρα συναλλαγής, με την υποβολή αίτησης εξαγοράς στον διαχειριστή. Για περισσότερες λεπτομέρειες, ανατρέξτε στο ενημερωτικό δελτίο του αμοιβαίου κεφαλαίου.
Εάν είστε μεριδιούχος στο αμοιβαίο κεφάλαιο και τα εν λόγω μερίδια είναι εγγεγραμμένα στο όνομά σας στο μητρώο μετόχων, θα έχετε ορισμένα δικαιώματα μετόχου τα οποία μπορείτε να ασκήσετε.

Εντός της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης, Directive (EU) 2020/1828 εισάγει ένα εναρμονισμένο μοντέλο αντιπροσωπευτικής δράσης που αποσκοπεί στη διασφάλιση επαρκούς προστασίας των καταναλωτών έναντι μαζικής ζημίας, αλλά και στην ύπαρξη κατάλληλων διασφαλίσεων για την αποφυγή καταχρηστικών δικαστικών αγωγών.
Directive (EU) 2020/1828 τέθηκε σε ισχύ στις 24 Δεκεμβρίου 2020 και όλα τα κράτη μέλη την έχουν ενσωματώσει στην εθνική τους νομοθεσία έως τις 25 Δεκεμβρίου 2022. Έως τις 25 Ιουνίου 2023, όλα τα κράτη μέλη πρέπει να έχουν δημιουργήσει τουλάχιστον έναν αποτελεσματικό διαδικαστικό μηχανισμό που επιτρέπει σε αρμόδιες οντότητες, όπως οργανώσεις καταναλωτών ή δημόσιοι φορείς, να προσφεύγουν στο δικαστήριο για ασφαλιστικά μέτρα (παύση ή απαγόρευση) ή επανόρθωση (αποζημίωση).

THE UK STEWARDSHIP CODE
In July 2010, the UK’s Financial Reporting Council published "The UK Stewardship Code." This Code comprises a set of guidelines aimed at improving the ways in which institutional investors interact with the management of companies in which they invest. In addition it proposes measures to increase the level of transparency surrounding institutional investors’ activities as shareholders for the benefit of their underlying clients.
This section of the Terms explains how Barclays Investment Solutions Limited (BISL) address the measures proposed in these guidelines.
BISL provides investment management services to professional investors in the UK which invest via a multi-manager and/or a fund of fund structure. BISL may choose to outsource the selection of stocks, to other investment managers by either investing into a fund or by giving a number of managers a portion of the money raised from underlying fund investors. BISL selects managers through a thorough due diligence process, focusing in every case on identifying managers capable of generating the best risk-adjusted returns in the asset class or strategy for which delegation is sought.
As part of the manager selection process, and on an ongoing basis, BISL will consider numerous factors around the manager’s proposed investment strategy and their performance against that strategy as part of an established due diligence process.
We are signatories to the Stewardship Code. [PDF, 2.2MB]

Within the European Union, Directive (EU) 2020/1828 introduces a harmonised model for representative action aimed at ensuring that consumers are well protected against mass harm but also that appropriate safeguards are in place to avoid abusive lawsuits.
Directive (EU) 2020/1828 entered into force on 24 December 2020 and all member states are supposed to have transposed it into their national laws by 25 December 2022. By 25 June 2023, all member states must have put in place at least one effective procedural mechanism that allows qualified entities, such as consumer organisations or public bodies, to bring lawsuits to court for the purpose of injunction (ceasing or prohibiting) or redress (compensation).
