Our Purpose

We are passionate about creating a supportive, diverse and inclusive working environment for our people. We believe this helps creates the best conditions for optimal decision making, enabling us to deliver positive outcome for all stakeholders.

Our people are at the heart of our business. Harnessing all of our life experiences, distinct capabilities and talents is key to our success. We value these differences, but know they require the right environment to flourish.

It is why we are committed to being a truly diverse, inclusive, and equitable company – one where all employees feel valued and respected, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, age, religion, sexual identity, education, disability or other characteristics.

We know that sentiment needs action, that our beliefs should be enshrined in the framework of our organisation. We are committed to implementing policies and initiatives which will make a difference to the diversity of our company.

Through our actions as investors, we can enable positive change for the many stakeholders in the world around us while delivering positive financial outcome for our clients.

To us, financial returns and ESG impacts are fundamentally intertwined over the long term, and stewardship is a critical element of our investment philosophy.

We integrate ESG into our investment process first and foremost to protect and grow our clients’ capital. However, we also recognise the impact that both corporates and investors can have to build a healthier and more sustainable economic and financial system that benefits us all.

Across all our investment teams at Martin Currie, our wider purpose of Investing to Improve Lives is embedded deeply into our analysis and decision making, and it truly guides our actions as active owners.

We understand that our business is bigger than the sum of its parts and that its influence reaches many stakeholders. Ensuring that our clients are confident that we, as fiduciaries of their capital, have their best interests at heart, is an equally important part of our purpose.

How we choose to run our own business is particularly important when we consider our role often involves advising companies that we engage with worldwide on how to adopt best practice.

It is why we hold ourselves to the same exacting standards that we expect of the companies in which we invest. By maintaining the highest ethical standards, positively contributing to our local environment through net zero carbon targets and mapping our business contributions to the UN SDGs, we demonstrate the same practices as we expect of investee companies.
