We are deeply grateful to Asian Private Banker for this recognition once again, which is especially meaningful as we celebrate the 30th anniversary of our thematic equity franchise. This accolade underscores our dedication to thematic investing, a journey that has required vision, patience, and the courage to pursue long-term opportunities driven by megatrends.
From pioneering strategies like water investments 25 years ago to today, our strength is built on the extensive expertise of over 70 investment professionals in our thematic team and a highly specialised, focused approach that sets us apart.
This award inspires us to continue innovating and delivering value for our clients, while staying true to our commitment to identifying transformative trends and creating sustainable investment solutions for the future.
