As part of our longstanding commitment to diversity and inclusion, you can explore our progress to date and see what actions we are taking in our first diversity and inclusion (D&I) report.
Our goals
1. Attract, develop and retain talent
We believe diverse minds bring different perspectives and enable more challenge and debate, leading to better decisions.
2. Create a culture where everyone feels safe, included, and valued
We are working hard to improve gender representation in our senior management population and ethnicity representation firmwide. To do this, we must drive more understanding of and accountability for D&I across all colleagues.
3. Drive accountability across the firm
We continue to focus on continuous improvements internally and engaging with industry bodies to shape and influence how asset management as a whole drives change in D&I.

Engagement rates for sexual orientation and trans-status are not yet high enough to provide a statistically valid pay gap outcome for reporting purposes and we will continue to keep this under review.
