Our Core Values

Central to our identity, we uphold three main values that guide our decisions and actions – putting clients first, being innovative, and acting responsibly.

Client commitment

The trust from our clients continues to be one of our greatest assets. As investors, we are committed to acting on behalf of our clients and investing with their best interests at heart so that they can reach their financial goals, no matter what the future holds. We work every day to deliver outstanding investment results, in both good and challenging times. This is what defines us.

Entrepreneurial spirit

We continuously invest in our diverse mix of people, empowering them to make change and fostering their creativity, courage and long-term thinking. Our entrepreneurial, collaborative spirit empowers them to share their perspective and have their voice heard. We question the status quo, make swift – yet considered – decisions, and strive to simplify and perfect how we do things – all for our common goal of serving our clients.

Sustainable action

Environmental, social and governance (ESG) themes are rapidly transforming businesses, society, and our planet. And while there are risks associated with any change, there are new opportunities for investments, too. We understand that, both as a corporate as well as a trusted advisor to our clients, we have a important role in helping navigate the transition to a more sustainable future.*
