[MUSIC PLAYING] Hello, I'm Paul Quinsee, head of global equities at JP Morgan Asset Management.

Our ambition in equities is simple. We want to be the best manager, best because we can achieve first-class returns for our clients across the full breadth of the world's equity markets.

How will we do that? Firstly, by focusing on quality, setting the bar really high, and rigorously assessing everything that we do from a long-term perspective to make sure that we can live up to our first-class ambitions.

Secondly, by taking advantage of our scale and presence as a leading equity investor in the US, Europe, and Asia to invest in deep commitments to fundamental research, quantitative research, and trading to help drive the work of all of our investment teams around the world.

And thirdly, by innovating through product development, such as US hedged equity, and through the use of technology throughout our investment process, all the way from research through to trade execution.

Of course, all of this ultimately depends on the quality of our investment team, quality which comes from the intellect, experience, and diversity of our investors around the world. As global head, maintaining the quality of our team is always an absolute priority for me.

Our focus today is on building unified and integrated approaches to both fundamental and quantitative research across the developed and emerging markets and on continuing to invest in our technology platform, Spectrum, to provide all of the investors with the tools that they need to succeed, plus focusing on the topics of inclusion to make sure that we can attract and retain people with diverse backgrounds and diverse opinions to build the most effective investment team for today and the future.

We know that we are in a hugely competitive business and that our clients have plenty of choice when they think about equity managers. So in 2021 and beyond, we will stay focused on thinking long-term, keeping the best possible team, and investing in both research and technology so that we can achieve those first class returns that our clients expect.
