What we do
While retaining distinct investment philosophies and processes, abrdn has a set of investment beliefs. These are the foundations for our investment approach:
- Active investing can generate robust long-term performance
- A team-based ethos is central
- ESG should be embedded within the investment approach
- Managers should leverage their expertise across investment capabilities.
These core beliefs run through all our investment teams and across all our investment capabilities. Shared values allow investment managers to work in a collegiate manner with other managers in different teams. Investment professionals throughout our company exchange ideas and perspectives with colleagues across the globe, enhancing their investment decision-making as they seek to generate robust returns.
abrdn plc has the depth and scale of investment capabilities to meet the current and future needs of clients. A full suite of actively managed strategies is complemented by quantitative, rules-based approaches that systematically look to capture or enhance market return.
By maintaining this breadth of expertise, we aim to lead the way with innovative investment approaches that can target investors’ specific needs for income, return, risk control or liability management – as well as seeking to provide sources of performance across different market cycles.
