Wellington Management

London

As an investor who has studied hundreds of companies over my career, I’m a strong believer that culture is the key ingredient in driving success over the long term. In the pursuit of investment excellence, we’ve chosen to do things a little differently – from how we structure our ownership model and investment platform to the way we generate ideas. We combine independent insights across asset classes, skill sets, and investment disciplines because we believe collaboration is a rare, repeatable competitive edge. Portfolio management Our globally integrated investment boutique model brings together nearly 50 independent investment teams across all asset classes, under a single management framework. Investment research Our independent, research-driven teams draw on insights from 900+ investment professionals worldwide, including our global industry, credit, ESG, and macro teams. Sustainable investing We integrate sustainable research and engagement practices across our sustainable investment platform. This includes impact, climate, ESG forefront, and sustainable thematic investing. Investment strategy Our Investment Strategy Group (iStrat) draws on our entire investment platform to conduct research, evaluate portfolios, and implement custom client solutions. Investment science Working alongside our Investment Science Group (iSci), our investment teams leverage data science innovations to improve efficiency, find new investment ideas, and manage risk. Risk management Our investors manage risk by harnessing data-science-powered investment risk tools, a robust risk-management framework, and risk specialists across every asset class.

Brunel University London

In 2016, Brunel celebrated 50 years as a university. However, our history can be traced back much further to 1798 through our predecessor colleges of Borough Road College, Maria Grey College, Shoreditch College and the West London Institute of Higher Education and as well as through Acton Technical College then Brunel College. Our rise since 1966 has been impressive and our reputation grows year on year. Now a university of 12,746 students – 3,309 students engaged in postgraduate and research study – our special approach is to combine academic rigour with the practical, entrepreneurial and imaginative approach pioneered by Isambard Kingdom Brunel. The decision to be named after Isambard Kingdom Brunel was taken after much discussion. Rather than name the new College after a location, Dr Topping, the first Vice Chancellor of Brunel University (and former Principal of Brunel College) pleaded that the name should be a well-known person preferably an engineer or scientist associated in some way with Middlesex or Acton. Agreement was reached in March 1957 that person would be Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Isambard Kingdom Brunel (1806-1859) is one of the great British engineers of the 19th century. Isambard was born into an industrious family in 1806, with his mother Sophia Kingdom working for the Royal Navy and father Marc Brunel being a prominent French engineer. Isambard took on formal training as an engineer and went on to build twenty-five railways lines, over a hundred bridges, including five suspension bridges, eight pier and dock systems, three ships and a pre-fabricated army field hospital.To add to this he was a keen social engineer, building housing estates, churches and hospitals.
