“Our general approach to engagement is to follow the ‘servant-leadership’ model; rather than tell companies what they should be doing, we ask them how we can help.”

Co-Head Asia Pacific Equities
“Besides the shift in trading patterns, we have observed a continual improvement in technology and ‘value add’ within Asian manufacturing. Some of the most advanced memory chips and semiconductors are now made in Asia which wasn't the case 25 years ago.”
