2023 Statement of Investment Principes

The 2023 Statement of Investment Principles (SIP) for the STMicroelectronics (Bristol) Retirement Benefit Scheme (thge “Scheme”) has been prepared by the Trustee and sets out the principles governing the Trustee’s decision to invest the assets of the Scheme. The Scheme’s investment strategy is derived from the Trustee’s investment objectives. The objectives have been taken into account at all stages of planning, implementation and monitoring of the investment strategy.

The 2023 version of the Statement of Investment Principles (SIP) can be accessed via the link below:

2023 Statement of Investment Principles

2023 Implementation Statement

The Department for Work and Pensions (‘DWP’) is increasing regulation to improve
disclosure of financially material risks. This regulatory change recognises
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors as financially material and
schemes need to consider how these factors are managed as part of their fiduciary
duty. The regulatory changes require that schemes detail their policies in their
Statement of Investment Principles (SIP) and demonstrate adherence to these
policies in an implementation report.

Below is the 2023 Implementation Statement for the STMicroelectronics (Bristol) Retirement
Benefit Scheme.

Town Hall Meeting 2022

STMicroelectronics(Bristol) Retirement Benefit Scheme

Town Hall Meeting:  23 November 2022; 17:30 to 19:30​

We would like to invite members of the STMicroelectronics (Bristol) Retirement Benefit Scheme (the “Scheme”) to attend a virtual 2022 Town Hall meeting.

The Trustee will be taking the opportunity to provide members with an insight into what they have been up to over the past year, including some updates about ongoing matters in relation to the Scheme itself, as well as some wider news on pensions. This will also provide members with the opportunity to directly address questions to the Trustee.

We believe members value Town Hall style meetings as they offer an opportunity to interact with the Trustee. In the same manner as last year, we will be using Zoom to host the meeting virtually. For those members who are unable to join the call, we do intend to make a recording of the event available on request for a short period after.

Members are invited to table questions in advance, with further opportunity to ask questions on the day.
