Furthermore, our collaborative sponsorship framework, which fosters shared responsibility between public and private members, is equally significant.

We believe good governance is good business because it helps companies deliver long-term shareholder value. As a plan administrator, we measure ourselves against best practices for governance, internal controls, risk management and stewardship to ensure we deliver long-term value to our members.

STAKEHOLDERS

The United Economic Development Fund is a collaboration between private sector entities and public organizations, with several stakeholders assuming distinct responsibilities. Below are some of the essential stakeholders and their respective roles:

Private sector investors provide the primary funding for the project and are primarily motivated by the potential for a return on their investment. They assess the risks and benefits of the project before committing their capital.

Public sector organizations oversee the project's regulatory compliance and may contribute to its commitments. They establish the legal framework governing the investment and ensure that it complies with relevant laws and regulations.

The responsibility of investment managers is to supervise the daily operations of the allocation. They are usually chosen from the private sector and have the task of ensuring that the allocation stays on track and meets the required returns on the invested capital.

The fund may engage service providers to offer particular services pertaining to the investment, such as legal, reporting, administration, and accounting. 

The investment can impact community stakeholders who hold a significant interest in its success, including local residents, businesses, and organizations. Engaging with these stakeholders and addressing their concerns is crucial to secure their support for the project.
