Inclusive culture

We believe that unity drives prosperity. Since 2012, we have fostered a workplace based on Inclusive Meritocracy, where both people and performance matter. Our culture is grounded on our core values integrity, respect, passion, and excellence — values that continue to guide our actions to uphold an inclusive workplace, build trust and shape our success.

We are convinced that ensuring an inclusive workplace with equal opportunities for all is a strategic advantage and a business imperative. A workforce enriched by breath of experiences, perspectives, and approaches leads to greater innovation, stronger customer focus, better decisions, and enhanced resilience.

Going further to bring opportunities closer

We strive to maintain the highest service standards at every stage of the investment experience. This means we never stop seeking insights — locally and globally — that help us achieve results for our clients. Our global teams continually collaborate to share knowledge and understanding across markets and asset classes, creating a multi-dimensional view of opportunities.

Our commitment

With our dedication to providing equal opportunities for all, we are committed to enabling everyone to bring their whole self to work. Our inclusion strategy focuses on six key dimensions: gender, generations, disability, nationalities, LGBTQ+, social background, reflecting our belief in the power of diverse experiences and the importance of creating an environment where everyone feels a sense of belonging.

Who we recruit and develop

We aim to attract and develop talent from all backgrounds. In line with our six dimensions—gender, generations, disability, nationalities, LGBTQ+, and social background—we ensure fair and inclusive hiring practices, support equal pay, and provide tailored training and mentoring to help every individual thrive.

How it feels to work here

We are determined to ensure an inclusive, safe, and healthy hybrid workplace where everyone feels valued and supported. We respect different talents and needs, remove barriers to success, and offer flexibility with the tools and guidance people need to thrive. Our inclusive policies, employee networks, and training offers are designed to promote wellbeing, awareness, and a zero-tolerance approach to harassment. We know that delivering excellence depends on our commitment to developing our teams and supporting their personal and professional growth.

How we serve our social purpose

We use our role as responsible investors to promote inclusion and opportunity in asset management and society. Inclusion and equal opportunity are at the heart of our impact investing and stewardship. Through industry memberships, thought leadership, and charter commitments, we advocate for greater representation and gender balance in boardrooms, reflecting our belief that different perspectives drive long-term value and sustainable practices.

Our zero tolerance towards harassment and discrimination commitment

We are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive workplace where employees feel safe, respected, and empowered. Harassment, discrimination, bullying, or abusive behaviour have no place here—our commitment is manifested in our Global Anti-Harassment and Anti-Discrimination Policy. Together, we can create a positive, supportive environment for all.

Our “Women in Finance Charter” commitment

As a signatory to the Women in Finance Charter, we are committed to supporting the progression of women into senior roles in the financial services sector and to reporting publicly on the progress made against internal ambitions on gender equality.

Our ambition is to have at least 30% women in global senior management positions by end of 2024:

50% of our ExCo are women (50% in 2023)
42% of our workforce are women (43% in 2023)
30% of our Managing Directors are women (26% in 2023)

As at 31.12.2024, new ambitions will be set from 2025 onwards, reflecting our continued commitment to working for more balanced gender representation.

We are stronger together

Our employee networks offer a sense of community and connection. These voluntary, employee-led groups bring together individuals who share a common identity or experience, along with their allies. They provide opportunities to connect, exchange perspectives, and support one another across locations and functions.

Our networks are vital partners in raising awareness, advocating for meaningful change, and shaping an inclusive workplace culture. We support both globally connected networks and locally anchored engagement groups, ensuring that every voice has a platform and every employee has a place to belong.
