Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Our Diversity, Equity & Inclusion policy centres around our people. Diversity
and inclusion is about evolving an environment encouraged by respect and
comprehending the differences between us all, whether that be gender, sexual
orientation, race, age or anything else.

Rethinking the ‘S’ in ‘ESG’

Today’s most difficult challenges come from a diverse, inter connected world; a diverse and well-networked group of professionals have the best chance of responding to such challenges.

Inclusion and diversity are therefore not just a values-based focus, but instead a meaningful investment consideration. At TGIM Assets we continue to translate intent and words into action.

Lack of diversity impedes effective decision making. Having diverse voices is vital to ensure no risks and opportunities are missed. Being exposed to different points of view allows our team to think outside the box and be challenged. Each person in the team brings something different to the table and that contributes to making the right decisions.

Thanks to our diverse talent we are agile and innovative – precisely the attributes needed at a time of disruption. We are firmly believers that retaining a diverse workforce leads to better performancetherefore fully embracing the link between DE&I and performance.

“Female leadership is under-represented in finance and investment industry especially in private equity real assets / real estate”

DISRUPTING THE STATUS QUO
TGIM Assets is a female-owned and female-led firm in a world where female talent remains an underutilised business resource in infrastructure, and indeed in finance more broadly. Studies show that women spend more time researching their investment choices which could lead to being more likely to take on appropriate levels of risk with their investments and lead to better investment outcomes. Women are more likely to have good age-based asset allocations, they achieve proper diversification to help protect their money, regardless of market condition, according to Fidelity research. Women are more likely to hold investments for the long term and stay calmer in down markets which resonates with our investment strategy. Female figure is important and necessary for the investment process, investment decision making and investment performance
