Equity manager research

In Manager Selection, our equity specialists focus on what matters most to each investor that we support, aligning with clients' investment beliefs and fulfilling our role as an extension of their teams. Within listed equities, investors' priorities may include diversification versus incumbent equity managers, addressing style imbalances, delivering a custom risk/return objective, ESG-related manager upgrades and more.

The Equity team is supported by our dedicated ESG Advisory unit, ensuring a rigorous approach to assessing managers' investment processes, impact, portfolio carbon emissions and other sustainability considerations. A highly client-customised process enables investors to innovate, raise the bar and even drive product development.
