Basic Policy for Compliance
SLR and SRM are committed to ensuring compliance with relevant laws and regulations, preventing corruption and conflicts of interest, and ensuring appropriate information management, while taking into consideration human rights and diversity, through the establishment of the following policies and management structure.
SRM understands the importance of SLR's asset management business, where SRM manages the assets of SLR, as a business managing the funds of SLR's unitholders. To build an appropriate management structure, SRM established the Compliance Department in charge of compliance-related matters and appointed Chief Compliance Officer responsible for supervising compliance-related matters, thereby ensuring the effectiveness of the internal supervision of compliance in the other departments. In addition, SRM has established the Compliance & Risk Management Committee as a part of its establishment of a multilayered compliance system.
