INVESTMENT MANAGERS
What has attracted us to the OpenInvest initiative is that investors can get to know each of the asset managers in their own time – who we are, how we’re investing, how we are thinking about an array of complex issues in the world, and our different fees – and decide on their preferred manager based on what matters most to them, when they feel ready. We believe Australian investors will value this high degree of transparency, choice and control.

Inherent in our approach to investment management is:
- A structured, disciplined and repeatable investment process
