Agenda

With a heritage dating back to 1864, First Eagle Investments has served as a prudent steward of client capital across market cycles, varying macroeconomic conditions and numerous disruptive events. This tradition remains central to its mission today, guided by a set of core tenets that sustains its culture while also allowing philosophical autonomy among its talented portfolio management teams.

Since launching the first US open-end mutual fund in 1924, MFS has been committed to a single purpose: to create value responsibly for clients. Its active investing approach aims to uncover what it believes are the best investment opportunities in the market through collective expertise, long-term discipline, and thoughtful risk management.

Polar Capital is a specialist, investment-led, active fund manager. The company prides itself on its collegiate and meritocratic culture where capacity of investment strategies is managed to enhance and protect performance. Since its foundation in 2001, it has grown steadily and currently has 14 autonomous investment teams managing specialist, active and capacity constrained portfolios, with combined AUM of £23.5bn (as at 30 June 2024).

Developing superior solutions requires an innovative nature and a pioneering spirit. That’s why at Robeco we nurture a culture in which new ideas are welcomed and embraced, from investing in Peru in 1930 and Hong Kong in 1968 to launching our first sustainable fund in 1995. Today, Robeco is a pure-play global asset manager and a leader in Sustainable Investing, with a strong range of client propositions in quant, thematic, credits and emerging market investing. We push our boundaries because we know that we provide greater value to our clients if our innovation is grounded in research.
