    Investment stewardship

    Investment-led, expert-driven

     

    Our heritage and responsibility

    For more than 150 years, we have been creating value for our clients by considering the impact of every decision we make. As one of the world’s largest allocators of client capital, we recognize our accountability to society as a whole.

    In our role as a large, active manager, we are already seeing improvements in the companies with which we engage. Not only do we think they will perform better financially over the long term, but they will also contribute to a more positive, forward-looking and equal society.
