Proven investment
pedigree and experience
We have been managing
our clients' investments for over 30 years. During this time we
have evolved from being a leading provider of balanced and indexed
funds for UK pension funds to a specialist in high performing and
alternative investments.
Awards &
ratings
Our investment capabilities have been
independently recognised by a variety of sources and is reflected
in Gartmore regularly receiving awards and ratings for its funds,
people and business processes. In 2006 and 2007, our achievements
were recognised with over 40 industry awards including a Gold
Standard Award for Fund Management for both years. This particular
award acknowledges our ability to deliver a high level of service
and fair value along with financial stability.
Multi-boutique investment
style
Our investment specialists are concentrated into small, dedicated
teams. In these specialised boutique units, our investment people
have the freedom to follow their own views and implement decisions
that best suit their particular area of expertise. This flexible,
multi-boutique structure operates within an overarching risk
framework, and means our managers now have greater discretion to
add value through their own flair and individual skill. As a
result, they are fully accountable for their portfolios and areas
responsibilities - there is no hiding behind a 'house style' at
Gartmore.
Innovative investment strategies and
fund structures
Gartmore has built a well-deserved
reputation for innovation. As an early adopter of alternative
investment strategies, we have pioneered the integration of
traditional and alternative investment management. In the UK retail
market, we were the first to launch mainstream concentrated
portfolios and the first to introduce focus funds with flexible
performance fees.
Significant employee
ownership
Many of our senior fund managers and executives are now company
owners, and as such have a significant commitment to the long-term
success of their individual funds, departments and Gartmore as a
whole. Our independent structure is a powerful mechanism that
delivers two key benefits: alignment and stability. Alignment; when
it comes to performance, our fund managers' interests are united
with those of our clients. And stability; our stakeholder-centric
ownership strengthens, not only our ability to retain, but also to
attract, outstanding investment
talent. |
