The team includes members located across the UK, EMEA, Asia Pacific, and the Americas, focusing on four key areas: delivering insight; investment frameworks and standards; active ownership; and client and commercial engagement.

We work closely with ESG and sustainable investment experts embedded across our global teams in fixed income, equities, multi-asset, real estate, and infrastructure, as well as within other functional areas.
