Our UK investment operation is based in the heart of the City of London and manages over £27 billion of equity, fixed interest, cash and property assets (as at 31/03/12).
Our long history of investing has shaped the philosophy we have towards investment markets, which focuses on taking a long-term perspective to delivering sustainable and repeatable investment performance.
We believe in active investment management. Our investment approach is to analyse macro trends carefully. These top-down views help our fund managers focus on what matters and directs them to assets that we think can add value for our clients. We couple this with detailed research into potential investments in order to determine whether an asset is undervalued.
All our fund managers contribute continuously to a vigorous but co-operative debate which feeds directly into the conviction with which they take individual investment decisions. Our fund managers only hold assets in which they have a high level of personal conviction. This gives them the strength to challenge the consensus, focusing more on what they know and less on market noise.
