Why we are distinctive

Our heritage

Since our inception, we have reached beyond borders to expand our knowledge, broaden our horizons, and seeking new investment opportunities for our clients.

Our global approach

Across platforms, we share a common belief in fundamental, research-driven active management, underpinned by a focus on risk management.

Responsible investment leader

We have long believed in the value and importance of responsible investing, which in our experience has added value over the long term. As active investors with responsible investing roots dating back over 30 years1, we have developed a robust responsible investment platform primarily across our equity, fixed-income and multi-asset investment platforms consisting of three pillars: ESG integration, active ownership and ESG-themed solutions.
