WTW Investments

The reason the WTW Investments business exists is straightforward - to deliver better outcomes for savers. But making this purpose a reality requires a concrete strategy that delivers a sustainable competitive advantage and a culture that supports that strategy.

Our strategy involves doing 4 things well:

Creating value for all our stakeholders. Recognising that we exist in a complex, interconnected world, we strive to deliver value on a long-term basis to each of our stakeholders (our clients, our colleagues, the societies we live in, the planet, and our shareholders). Without recognising and valuing these stakeholders we cannot expect to be trusted by savers and to attract the best talent for the long term.

Innovating to identify a continuous stream of great investment ideas. Investment insight is quickly priced into capital markets so we continue to invest heavily in research and idea generation from new manager ideas and specific asset class opportunities to long term investment themes and regimes. We also innovate in the vehicles that are used to deliver these ideas and often push banks, asset managers, insurers, index providers and others to create new products that better meet our clients needs and provide better value for money.

Maintaining an asset owner mindset. We listen to our clients and provide advice and solutions driven by their needs. We have a fiduciary mindset not only when thinking about the advice we give but also when thinking about how we evolve the services we provide. The needs of our clients will constantly change and so we must continue to listen and to evolve our services. We are not afraid to challenge our clients’ views when changes would benefit them, but we are always respectful of their perspectives and context.

Delivering an execution advantage. We know that investing in the same way as the ‘typical’ investor can be expected to produce results that fall behind the market due to costs, or carry unnecessary levels of risk. We provide our clients with an execution platform that we believe improves the quality of their portfolio and hence improves expected returns, reduces costs through our scale advantage and provides significantly faster and simpler implementation than a typical institutional investor can manage. In addition to providing execution options across all asset classes and markets we also provide a dedicated portfolio management capability that adds a significant risk management benefit to these return, cost, and speed benefits.

When you get one of us, you get all of us. We help each other succeed and create more value working together. Your vision. Our focus.

Join us and experience an award-winning culture.
