The firm has over 1200 employees and offices in 24 cities worldwide.

Our investment philosophy consists of six enduring tenets: risk control, consistency, market inefficiency, specialization, de-emphasis of macro-forecasting and disavowal of market timing. These tenets are central to our opportunistic and value-oriented approach.

Our mission is to deliver superior investment results with risk under control and to conduct business with the highest integrity. Sustainability considerations are a critical component of achieving this mission. As long-term investors, we recognize that accounting for sustainability considerations throughout the investment lifecycle can help us avoid undue risk and better identify attractive opportunities. These efforts are part of our long-standing commitment to excellence in bottom-up investment analysis
