We recognize people and institutions have a choice of where they invest their money. The competition for capital is global and their investment decisions reflect whether they have confidence in our ability to deliver returns that are superior to others.
While our owners range from multi-billion dollar mutual funds and pension funds to the individual long-term investor, they all demand we demonstrate sound strategy and risk discipline, strong management, as well as excellent and ethical execution. We know there is little tolerance for missteps and we are proud of our long track record of enviable financial performance.
Of all our assets, our integrity is one of our most valued. As a complex, global financial services company, we recognize that our shareholders define return on investment in terms broader than dollars and cents. They expect us to act responsibly and make a positive contribution to the issues confronting society. We remain accountable to all our shareholders by providing them with transparent financial and non-financial reporting and comprehensive disclosure. Our reputation for leading corporate governance practices is cited among the world’s best.
We are committed to always working hard to ensure we reward our investors’ confidence with superior returns and more reasons to trust their capital with us.
