investment professionals
We aim to preserve and grow our clients' assets, guided by a simple philosophy: 'rethink everything®'. Our sole activity is to serve our clients throughout their various life stages, providing a holistic approach to help them achieve their personal goals, and to preserve, grow and transfer their wealth to future generations.
Our agile responses to changing economic and political conditions have delivered over 225 years of stability. We've grown stronger through 40 financial crises, not by standing still and waiting for them to pass, but by re-evaluating and rethinking the world around us.
We differentiate ourselves from our peers thanks to a combination of factors including: our private ownership and organisation as a partnership, our client-centric, bespoke approach, and the way in which we think and act along sustainable principles in our investment strategies. Our private bankers draw on the expertise of a team of more than 200 investment professionals Group-wide. We also have an international outlook with over 25 offices worldwide, underpinned by local expertise in each of our target markets.
We are rethinkers with one goal in mind: to be an outstanding active investment manager creating sustainable value for our clients through innovative solutions.
Our teams manage specialised strategies across equity, fixed income, multi-asset, convertible bond, hedge fund, and private equity and credit markets. We constantly rethink what we know and do, so that we can develop differentiated strategies and new ways of investing. With more than 400 professionals in locations across Europe, Asia and North America, we serve a growing base of institutional and wholesale clients worldwide.
We seek opportunities on less-trodden paths, where our expert teams can add genuine and persistent value for clients by applying research-driven convictions. These include the transition to a CLIC® economy – one that is Circular, Lean, Inclusive and Clean, and which we believe is rewiring industries and reshaping risk and return dynamics across asset classes. Investors with the skills and resources to adapt will harness new sources of alpha and mitigate emerging risks.
Multiple, interconnected challenges are transforming economies and societies. Climate change, the energy and environmental transitions, geopolitical tensions and global decoupling, rapid technological advances led by artificial intelligence. To stay ahead we cannot stand still. We have to continually rethink the way we invest.
The shift to a more sustainable world is underway. It will be one where the value of nature and its ecosystem services is fully recognised; where materials are managed according to circular economy principles; where the cost of carbon increases. This re-evaluation will accelerate in the years ahead, and our investment strategy involves identifying the forward-looking companies making themselves fit for that future. They are the ones whose focus is expanding to embrace multiple bottom lines – profit, people and the planet.
These companies are found in all sectors. We are allocating capital to low-carbon solution providers, but also to transition leaders in carbon-intensive industries. They will all be critical for economic growth in a net-zero, nature-positive world, and we believe they are going to outperform in a Circular, Lean, Inclusive and Clean (CLIC®) economy, generating strong, sustainable investment returns for our clients over the long term.
Our client-centric philosophy underpins the development of innovative solutions that address a wide spectrum of financial needs. This ensures that our offerings are meticulously tailored to each client’s unique needs.
