Our Group purpose is to power people and possibilities. We aim to achieve this for our people, our clients, and our communities.
Our people
We value our people above all else and articulate our commitment to them through our Employee Value Proposition (EVP). Across three key pillars, our EVP captures the tangible ways we put our purpose into action for employees across the globe.
Our clients
We’re committed to delivering the very best service and solutions to meet our clients’ needs and exceed expectations. Through our know-how and ‘know you’, we build trusted partnerships with our clients that stand the test of time.
Our communities
Through our worldwide ‘CHESS’ committees, not only do we foster authentic workplace culture and community spirit, but we drive active involvement in our local communities through a wide range of charitable and socially responsible activities – ensuring we make a positive impact everywhere we operate.

We invest in technology to meet our clients’ needs today and into the future – whether that means seamlessly integrating leading third-party software or developing a market-defining proprietary platform to deliver exactly what our clients are looking for.
We recognise the importance of quality data and its ability to make or break a technological solution, which is why we’ve developed a comprehensive data services offering underpinned by Snowflake. A best-in-class cloud-based platform, Snowflake allows us to collaborate with clients to store and analyse large volumes of their data.
With this, we know that keeping our clients’ data and our systems safe is vital. We have dedicated in-house cyber experts who operate an Information Security Management System to maintain the confidentiality, integrity and availability of both our clients’ data and our own. Meanwhile, our next-generation, ISO-certified data centres set the standard in secure, high-availability hosting solutions.
And with dedicated in-house Innovation and AI teams, we’re always exploring new, better ways to operate that will make our people’s lives easier while delivering more effectively for our clients.
Sustainability isn’t simply a key tenet of our strategy; it’s embedded in our DNA, informing every decision we make and shaping our future as an organisation. This ‘sustainability thinking’ is central to our success, fostering long-term value creation as we ask ourselves how each decision will impact our business, our people, our clients and our communities – not just today, but in the years to come.
We’ve built our sustainability framework around three core pillars: people, planet and strong governance. Through these pillars we maintain an unwavering commitment to the principles of transparency, accountability, fairness and authenticity across a wide range of initiatives. Our efforts are aligned with leading international sustainability frameworks and bolstered by carefully selected partnerships and recognised industry accreditations. And we continue to improve our efforts and impact year on year, as evidenced by our detailed annual Sustainability Report.
Our employee code of conduct, ‘Our DNA’, captures the essence of who we are as a business and unites us. Setting out our values, behaviours and standards, it reflects our commitment to excellence, integrity and trust, guiding how we engage with each other, our clients and communities.
We’ve chosen to make this document publicly available to showcase to external audiences what we stand for and how we’re Authentic, Bold and Collaborative (our ‘ABC Values’) in all that we do.
IQ-EQ Crossroads, our flagship annual industry event, is a unique cross-sector conference bringing together experts and special guests from across the financial services space and beyond to examine the most pertinent themes impacting the global investment community.
IQ-EQ
Our brand identity comes from our strong belief that valuing both intellectual and emotional intelligence (IQ and EQ) is essential for our people, our clients and our business. The name ‘IQ-EQ’ expresses exactly who we are and how we like to operate.
IQ
IQ enables us to respond to mental challenges. It empowers us with deductive logic. It gives us the ability to understand complex information and provide insightful solutions. It helps us identify the challenge and plan how to tackle it. Intellectual intelligence generates the solution.
EQ
EQ gives us the ability to engage on a personal level. It helps us listen and create connections. It enables us to see the challenges that lie behind the challenge. It gives us insight into how to relate to another person so trust develops. It allows us to balance the professional with the personal. Emotional intelligence brings out the best in people.
