Ross has deep experience in asset management and stewardship, with more than 20 years’ investing in and engaging with companies across the Asia and Emerging Market regions.

Bruce Duguid, Head of Stewardship at Federated Hermes Limited: “I am very pleased to welcome Ross to the team, with his deep experience in stewardship and company engagement. Asia and the Emerging Markets are particularly important for our stewardship clients and someone of Ross’s calibre will be a significant addition to our global platform.”
Ross Teverson, Regional Team Lead – Asia & GEMs at Federated Hermes Limited: “Global momentum behind shareholder proposals on climate and human rights remain on the increase, with Asia and Emerging Markets at the forefront of this expansion. . We are also seeing Asian regulators progressively encourage the adoption and disclosure of Paris aligned transition strategies. The team and I look forward to broadening the climate conversation from a focus on environmental risk to amplify the social risk of failing to ensure a just transition, alongside our existing programme of engagement.”
