Our specialist approach is built on focused teams working in a collaborative culture.

Focused, experienced teams

  • Each specialised investment team owns its specific investment process from research through portfolio construction, with an incentive structure aligned to both portfolio and business objectives.
  • Teams are led by industry veterans – typically with decades of experience managing their respective strategies – working in a culture of collaboration across asset classes.

Proprietary, fundamental research

  • Our public and private market strategies are driven by deep in-house sector expertise and independent research supported by global macroeconomic and analytical resources.
  • Our structure fosters a research environment characterised by embedded analysts with the ability to take advantage of our global reach.

Multidimensional risk management

  • Our risk management approach starts with clearly defined investment processes, includes access to formal ESG research specialists, and has multiple levels of portfolio and operational oversight.
  • From portfolio-level risk monitoring to assessing behavioural biases in our public market strategies to firm-level risk management and compliance, we’re committed to assessing risks from multiple perspectives.
  • Our private market capabilities are supported by board governance and investment committees with independent legal, compliance, and risk teams that hold deep asset management expertise.
