The investment trust sector is facing heightened scrutiny. With increased consolidation and shareholder activism, strong governance is no longer a formality – it's a strategic priority. In this webinar, we explore how FTSE 350 investment trusts are responding to the ask that they report on their progress against the UK Corporate Governance Code. Backed by exclusive benchmarking data and expert insight, we unpack the trends, challenges, and opportunities shaping the sector. 

 

Behind the insights 

As part of Grant Thornton UK’s Corporate Governance Review, we analysed 95 investment trusts on their compliance with the UK Corporate Governance Code. This data forms the backbone of our discussion - drawing upon benchmarking data to reveal what good looks like, where gaps remain, and how the governance narrative is shifting.
