City Hive is the architect of ACT, the corporate culture standard for investment companies, and a leading authority on the corporate culture of organisations that manage investments.
Companies that manage investments are entrusted with the savings, pensions and assets of millions of people.
When investment firms face scrutiny, it often reveals questions about culture, accountability and oversight that should have been asked much earlier.
Understanding the culture of these organisations can provide important context for how they operate, how they respond to challenge and how they deliver outcomes for clients and beneficiaries.
Through ACT, City Hive analyses corporate culture reporting from organisations across the investment management industry.
This provides insight into emerging themes, industry trends and how expectations around corporate culture are evolving across the organisations responsible for managing investments on behalf of clients and beneficiaries.
City Hive can provide insight and commentary on:
- Organisational culture within investment management
- Governance and oversight
- Decision-making and accountability
- Stewardship
- Transparency and disclosure
- Due diligence and manager assessment
- When governance fails and the role culture plays in organisational failures
- Investment management industry trends
- ACT and industry adoption
