With our global presence and fundamental research, we evaluate companies using strict criteria to identify strong business models, clear competitive advantages, and the leaders and innovators shaping tomorrow.
Investing with purpose
Environmental, social and governance (ESG) analysis and company engagement is part of our equity process. They help us to manage risk and generate returns.
Once invested, we take an active and engaged ownership approach, holding over 4,000* company meetings annually. We collaborate with businesses to drive meaningful growth and positive change.
Outcome-driven investment
Clients have many different goals. To help meet them, we offer a broad range of differentiated, specialist equity solutions.

Risk warning
The value of investments, and the income from them, can go down as well as up and an investor may get back less than the amount invested. Past performance is not a guide to future results.
