Intellectual capital

We separate the signal from the noise to help our clients make sound decisions – whatever their goals.

Every day, clients face choices that can impact the financial wellbeing of households and businesses around the globe. To help them make those choices with confidence, we draw on the breadth and depth of our proprietary research platform to anticipate trends, spot emerging risks and highlight opportunities others might miss.

We share our intelligence through our flagship market and portfolio insights programmes – recognised as industry benchmarks of clear, actionable and objective analysis. And we offer portfolio analytics to help clients put those insights into action. This commitment to putting our intellectual capital at the service of our clients is central to the trusted partnerships we forge.

Investment solutions

We meet clients’ varied investment challenges with a singular focus: on finding the right solution to help them achieve their goals.

We’re committed to listening first. To understanding our clients’ circumstances and helping them to evaluate the risks they may face and the opportunities they can seize. To identifying the strategy best aligned with their objectives – whether that’s in alternative beta, high conviction thematic equity or global real assets.

Across asset classes, geographies and investment styles, our solutions are built on proprietary research and data science, and backed by global resources and local teams.

The breadth of our expertise means we are confident in our ability to offer clients the right solution, at the right time, to help them build portfolios tailored to their needs.

Technology

Technology is fundamental to everything we do to help our clients succeed.

Innovation is at the heart of our business. That’s why we lead the industry in investment in technology, harnessing the power of AI, machine learning and data science to broaden and deepen our perspective.

Our portfolio management system, Spectrum™, equips our 1000+ investment professionals to make smarter investment decisions, putting quantitative and qualitative analysis at their fingertips – with robust risk management built in. Our Morgan platform provides our clients with access to our award-winning insight, portfolio management tools and managers’ views in a transparent, end-to-end digital interface.

We believe we’ve only just begun to realise the transformative power of technology, and the ways in which it can be leveraged to drive better outcomes for our clients.

Sustainability

Our goal is to create value for our clients.

Our research-led approach is continually evolving to consider everything material to our clients’ investments over the long term – including environmental, social and governance factors.

Our approach to sustainable investing spans an ESG-integrated investment platform, ESG-enhanced stewardship to help companies manage the material ESG risks that they face, and a range of ESG-focused strategies. We systematically include ESG factors, among other factors, in our active security selection across asset classes and regions. The aim is to reduce exposure to financially material ESG risks that could be detrimental to long-term returns. ESG integration does not change a strategy’s investment objective, exclude specific types of company or constrain a strategy’s investment universe. Learn more about how we define ESG Integration.

Because climate factors represent the single largest source of risks and opportunities in the decades to come, we are developing multi-dimensional research methods and analytics to help our investors prepare for the carbon transition.

Together with our clients, partners, and the companies we invest in, we believe we can drive better outcomes, for today and for the future we want to see.

Diversity, equity and inclusion

We believe that inclusive cultures foster better outcomes – for our teams, for our clients, and for our communities. That’s why we’re committed to becoming the world’s most diverse and inclusive asset manager.

We know diverse perspectives create differentiated thinking. We know our client relationships are stronger when our teams mirror the communities in which we work and invest. We reflect these beliefs in our hiring, development and promotion practices, and by nurturing a culture in which everyone is judged on their merits and empowered to hold each other accountable.

Beyond our firm, we put our people and assets to work to help advance equity and economic opportunities – and influence other companies to do the same. We continually reinvest in our communities to close opportunity gaps wherever they exist.
