Investment innovation at the intersection of technology, data and behavioral finance. It's in our DNA.

What We Value

Our Clients

We forge deep relationships with our clients, working closely to help them solve their challenges and offering unparalleled access to the insights, expertise, and advice of any team member.

Investment Excellence

We believe that investment excellence means more than just returns. It means employing a responsible and active approach, building portfolios with a high level of conviction, accounting for risk, and exceeding our clients’ goals.

Collaboration

We embrace the natural cultural diversity among our employees and openly share our ideas, collaborating as easily with team members across the globe as we do with those across the room.

Empowerment

We are experts in our disciplines, markets and regions—and are each empowered to make decisions and accountable for results.

Independence

We honor our heritage and our roots, while we forge our own path toward a future of unlimited potential.

How We Invest

As the sustainable investor for a changing world we aim to generate long-term sustainable returns for our clients, based on six core investment features.

Global Perspective

A global perspective is needed to make better investment decisions, in an increasingly interconnected world.

Sustainable

We are convinced that we make better decisions by integrating sustainability into our investment processes. We believe this will result in better outcomes for our clients and the planet.

Risk Management

The value created through our research and idea generation needs to be carefully preserved through appropriate risk utilisation.

Research Driven

Research is the foundation on which we build our markets’ views to support our convictions. We apply both a quantitative and fundamental approach to our research with a culture of curiosity, collaboration, and challenge.

Conviction Driven

In a changing world, our conviction based investment philosophy provides scope to capture both short and long-term opportunities for value creation. Our approach combines a thorough understanding of market dynamics and fundamentals (at security, sector, thematic levels), enabling high conviction positions and a dynamic allocation of capital across varied time horizons.

Powered By People

People drive investment decisions.
We are committed to attracting, nurturing, and retaining our diversity of talent. We align incentives to our clients’ long term sustainable objectives.

Trafield Adapting To Change

Trafield has both a modern vision and a rich heritage.  we have successfully navigated many market crises and adapted our strategy over time. Today, we offer a responsibly managed portfolio, which provides investors with exclusive access to the top stock selections of some of the world’s best investment managers, at a competitive cost.

Designed To Perform

Our high conviction approach to stock picking gives the portfolio the potential to outperform world stock markets, responsibly.

Risk-Controlled

Our multi-manager approach reduces risk and volatility, smoothing out the peaks and troughs of performance normally associated with a single manager.

Rising Dividend

We have increased our dividend every year since 2017, putting us among the top of the Association of Investment Companies.

Investing Responsibly For Today And Tomorrow’s Generations

We believe responsible investing gives us rights and responsibilities, and we must make sure our capital is being invested in a way that doesn’t exploit society or the environment. For that reason, the analysis of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors throughout our investment process is important to us. Doing so ensures the companies we invest in take the challenges facing current and future generations seriously, and it reduces risk and drives improved returns for our investors.
