We aim to provide you with substantial growth and excellent service. Experience has taught us that the fastest-growing companies generate the best investment returns over the long term and that only a very small percentage of businesses achieve outstanding returns. So, we focus on picking exceptional companies on your behalf. We believe our extensive experience and well-resourced investment teams give you an advantage in building the funds necessary for your members to enjoy a secure future.

We believe sustainability and excellent investment returns can be complementary. As active investors, we build long-term relationships with the management of companies we own on your behalf. That puts us in a great position to influence change. In doing so, we consider a broad range of environmental, social and governance (ESG) matters. We focus on what we believe are the critical issues and behaviours leading to long-term success rather than box-ticking or focusing solely on risk.

We’re proud of our longstanding relationship with the LGPS. Your needs have evolved, and we’ve evolved to meet them. That includes a shift to global equity investing in the 2010s and, more recently, offering impact and climate-aware strategies and ESG reports. We’ve also adapted to your pooling of assets, helping you benefit from economies of scale. And every three years, we host an LGPS clients investment seminar as part of a commitment to understanding your needs and being a trusted partner.
