The Jupiter Independent Funds Team take analysis of underlying investment managers on a case-by-case basis. They will only select managers that they feel share they and their clients' investment values whilst also best serving their clients' objectives. As such, if the team feel that the prospective or existing underlying investment manager's approach to governance does not sufficiently reflect their own high governance standards or could negatively affect the investment proposition for their clients, this will weigh on their investment decision.
