For almost 100 years, we have chosen to do things differently, including the way we structure our ownership model, organization, and investment platform. Critically, we know that the best investment ideas are found when a diverse workforce is encouraged to bring forward unique perspectives.

We manage more than US$1 trillion for pensions, endowments and foundations, insurers, family offices, fund sponsors, global wealth managers, and other clients.

Leveraging more than 900 investment professionals located in offices around the world, we combine independent insights across asset classes, skill sets, and investment disciplines to uncover ideas for our clients, because we believe collaboration is a rare, repeatable competitive edge.
