Company Description:
Change the world, have fun, make money…in that order. These goals have driven us since our inception. But what do they really mean? "Change the world" means improving the management of the world’s retirement funds. The long term growth of those assets can raise the standard of living globally. Doing meaningful work is a goal we embrace daily. We don’t see ourselves as a traditional business. We are a group of people on a learning journey to change the world in our own way. "Having fun" is vital. We know that working in fun teams supports learning. Learning is necessary for innovation and good decision-making. "Making money" is not our end-goal. We know profit is important. We work hard for it and with an owner mind-set. We value it because it fuels our ability to change the world.
