Philosophy

The market changes every day, but your important financial goals probably don’t. The same goes for your investment strategy.

A long-term strategy

We believe the best way to build and preserve your financial future is with a long-term approach to investing.

Hyperfocus on quality

With our years of experience, we know what quality looks like

Diversify, diversify, diversify

While diversification can’t protect you against a loss, it can help reduce your risk.
If your money is invested in just one or a few investments, and one of them struggles, your entire financial strategy could be in trouble.

History

We're the world's first development finance institution, with over 30 years’ experience as an impact investor in emerging economies.

‘Investment underpins our entire economic engine’ and determines where capital flows and which projects receive investment.
It offers a picture of our values that reflects social progression and lifestyles through the ages. Investing has not only changed the way we plan our lives, from business to pensions, investment has shaped communities and underpinned our world view.

Culture

Value-added investment decisions stem from CREATIVE PERSPECTIVES.

Bureaucracy, committees and benchmark constraints can quickly stifle the creative perspectives that are essential to producing value-added results.
We do not want to dilute results or create commonalities in performance. Our investment teams operate autonomously and have the freedom to take investment risk in the context of a well-defined process.
We believe team autonomy and investment freedom retain the purity of each teams
investment process and amplify the creative perspectives that lead to value creation.
