In the pursuit of investment excellence, we’ve chosen to do things a little differently, including the way we structure our ownership model, organization, and investment platform.

Independence & scale

As one of the world’s largest privately held asset managers, we take the long view, innovate and invest when others pull back, and are accountable only to our clients. Our ownership model contributes to the depth and continuity of our talent.

Marketplace of ideas

Our collaborative culture is not just talk. We’ve spent decades designing an open organization in which our investors can leverage every pocket of intellectual capital to sharpen their own insights and portfolio decisions.

Integrated investment capabilities

We believe that our clients’ challenges require an integrated approach to research, portfolio management, and solutions design across asset classes. We pair deep multi-disciplinary research resources — career analysts, embedded data scientists, client strategists — with independent portfolio teams operating in an entrepreneurial “boutique” environment.

All figures are for the Wellington Management Group of companies as of 30 June 2024.
