Adherence
Review
As we are approaching the second half of the year, Group Investment L&G would like to remind you it is
important to adhere to AIA Investment Standards at all times. Take prompt action to apply for exception if there is
any foreseeable difficulties in adopting new or amendments to AIA Investment Standards before the respective
Standard Effective Date.
In addition, Group Investment L&G will soon be performing the annual Adherence Review to the IGF for each of
the in-scope entities, covering IGF Standards that are in effect as of 30 September 2020. The Corporate Policy
Governance (CPG) Standard allows AIA Business Units, AMCs and Group Investment to utilise the Basic Adoption
or the Modified Adoption methods, by using an Addendum to implement IGF Standards. Details can also be
found in the briefing session of the Investment Governance Framework (IGF) and Corporate Policy Governance
(CPG) Integration in this communication.
Folder “14. GIPS related Documents” has been newly created on the respective in-scope entities’ folder on
SharePoint to facilitate information segregation. You are also reminded to always follow the timeframe to upload
documents to the respective folders in the Group Investment SharePoint according to the Investment Repository
Standards.
Thank you.
Dr. Mark Konyn
Group Chief Investment Officer
