Panel 2: Who do investment firms really serve?
Three CEOs representing different ownership structures discuss what culture and values means to their firms
Despite representing three very different ownership structures - listed, privately owned and partnership - these CEO panellists kept returning to the same conclusion at our recent Investors ACT Conference: culture is not a "nice to have", it is the mechanism through which client outcomes are delivered.
The panel, moderated by Paul Carne, explored how:
Good client outcomes start with engaged employees.
Values should be non-negotiable, even when culture evolves.
Incentives reveal what firms truly reward.
Performance without the right behaviours is not enough.
Matthew Beesley, CEO, Jupiter Asset Management: "Culture is the ultimate enabler in a business."
