European Equities
European equity markets are liquid and well-regulated – and home to a wealth of world-class companies that can help diversify an investment portfolio.
Smaller Companies
A truly active approach to equities based on fundamental research and a disciplined investment process.
UK Equities
We believe in an active investment approach to UK equities to deliver the best possible returns for your clients who are seeking growth and income.
Our ESG approach to equity investing
We believe that ESG factors are financially material and can impact a company’s performance – either positively or negatively. Understanding ESG risks and opportunities, alongside other financial metrics, is therefore an intrinsic part of our research process.
We actively engage with the companies in which we invest. We combine information from these meetings with the insights of our investment managers, ESG equity analysts and central ESG investment team. This comprehensive approach means we can build a richer, more holistic view of each company. It also means we can consistently evaluate one company against another.
This approach is all part of our responsible stewardship of our clients’ assets – helping us mitigate risks, unlock opportunities and enhance long-term returns.

Risk warning
Risk warning - Investment involves risk. The value of investments, and the income from them, can go down as well as up and an investor may get back less than the amount invested. Past performance is not a guide to future results.
