American Century Investments

About

It’s how we help our clients Prosper With Purpose™.

Every day people are increasingly focused on investing to make the world a better place for themselves, their families, their organizations, and the world at large. It is possible to live a more meaningful and impactful life and give back something that’s more valuable than money.

When you invest with us, you can also invest in the future of others and have the potential to impact the lives of millions. That’s possible because of the distinct relationship with the Stowers Institute for Medical Research, which owns more than 40% of American Century Investments. Our dividend payments provide the ongoing financial support for the Institute’s work of uncovering the causes, treatments and prevention of life-threatening diseases, like cancer.

Together we can become a powerful force for good…it’s like nothing you’ve seen before from an investment management firm.

Vanguard

We are a community of 30 million who think - and feel - differently about investing. Together, we’re changing the way the world invests. Since our founding in 1975, helping investors achieve their goals has been our main reason for existence. At Vanguard, we’re built differently. Vanguard is investor-owned, meaning the fund shareholders own the funds, which in turn own Vanguard. When you’re surrounded by people who care about the same things, things tend to fall into place. With no other parties to answer to and therefore no conflicting loyalties, we make every decision - including keeping investing costs as low as possible - with your needs in mind. Because of our unique structure, your goals align with our goals. Whether you’re investing for your first house, college for your kids, or a comfortable retirement, you can be confident we’re on your side. That’s the value of ownership!

Generation Investment Management

Our vision is a sustainable world in which prosperity is shared broadly, in a society that achieves wellbeing for all, protects nature and preserves a habitable climate. We seek to pursue our vision with urgency through our mission which is to deliver long-term, attractive, risk-adjusted investment returns and positive impact, and to advocate for the adoption of sustainable investing by the wider market. This mission also unites our global client base of asset owners, for whom we manage or supervise approximately USD 46.2 billion (as of 31 March 2024). Generation is also a Certified B Corporation. B Corps are businesses that meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose. B Corps are accelerating a global culture shift to redefine success in business and build a more inclusive and sustainable economy. Sustainable investing We see long-term investing as best practice and sustainability as the organising construct of the global economy. We use ESG factors as tools to evaluate the quality of businesses and management teams. We believe this approach reveals important and relevant insights that other investment frameworks may leave undiscovered – and that these insights ultimately lead to long-term, attractive, risk-adjusted investment returns. This makes us think differently about what drives and influences the performance of companies. It compels us to ensure that rigorous sustainability analysis is fully integrated into every investment decision we take. OUR CORE VALUES Ethical standards: We expect the highest ethical standards in our work and in our personal lives. Teamwork: Teamwork underpins our one-firm culture. Inclusion & diversity: Inclusion and diversity, in the broadest sense, help drive our success. Respect & dignity: Each of the individuals with whom we work is entitled to respect and dignity. Excellence: We aim for excellence in all that we do. Commitment: We are committed to rigorous research, curiosity and continuous learning. HOW WE WORKWe recognise complacency, hubris and loss of reputation to be the greatest risks to our business. We seek long-term client partnerships by ensuring our interests are fully aligned with those of our clients and delivering differentiated investment insight and exceptional client service. We seek to attract, develop and retain the best professionals with whom we share a commitment to our Mission and Core Values within a passionate investment culture. We are an independent, broadly owned and managed private partnership. We encourage all our colleagues to think and act like owners. We are committed to remaining a boutique investment firm. We recognise and accept our responsibility to the communities in which we live and work, and to the world community. We are mindful of ways to help our colleagues fulfil their personal responsibilities, and we actively encourage philanthropic engagement. We strive to promote a more sustainable form of capitalism through engagement with our clients, portfolio companies and the broader financial markets. The Generation Foundation is an important element of this work.
