Investing to Improve Lives
Martin Currie is a global active equity specialist and is a Specialist Investment Manager (SIM) within Franklin Resources Inc., one of the world’s largest asset management firms.
Headquartered in Scotland, Martin Currie has been investing since the 19th century. Today, we are a modern, vibrant investment firm with a truly global presence. We are driven by our purpose of Investing to Improve Lives. This underpins everything that we do - as investors in equity markets, through partnerships with clients, our business practices, as an employer, and as members of the community.
Across our offices in Edinburgh, Leeds, London, Melbourne, New York and Singapore, our autonomous and empowered investment teams are solely focussed on providing clients with differentiated, high conviction equity portfolios based on proprietary, fundamental research. Our firm provides the environment and infrastructure for talented investors and teams to succeed, removing them from all distractions and to focus on generating investment returns.
We are committed to integrating industry-leading Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) analysis into to the heart of our investment approach; investing in companies creating solutions to sustainability challenges and engaging with companies to progress change. We have been consistently rated A+ (the top grade) by the PRI across all three pillars until 2020 and in 2021 we were awarded two 5-star ratings and one 4-star rating which reflects the new and revised reporting framework.
