Creating value responsiblyOur purpose is to create long-term value responsibly. In 1924, recognizing an inadequate financial system, we launched the first US open-end mutual fund to give everyday investors access to the markets. For 100 years, we have been driven by our conviction to always do what’s best for clients, staying true to our active investment approach, our core values and our collaborative culture. Today, we have a global investment platform that has been shaped by a century of putting clients first.
