New York, NY (Dec. 11, 2023) - Global investment manager Ninety One has been recognized as one of the 2023 Best Places to Work in Money Management, announced today by Pensions & Investments. The publication’s 12th-annual survey is dedicated to identifying and recognizing the best employers in the money management industry. This is the fourth year in a row that the firm has been honored.
With roots in South Africa, Ninety One values diversity in all its forms and its culture of bringing together diverse perspectives has been key to its long-term success. The firm empowers employees to challenge the status quo and try new things, which has led to meaningful innovations across the business. For example, Ninety One continues to be a leading voice on an equitable energy transition and has developed a range of investment strategies focused on sustainability and providing emerging market companies with commercial financing to reduce real-world carbon emissions.
“As their employees attest, the companies named to this year’s Best Places to Work list demonstrate a commitment to building and maintaining a strong workplace culture,’’ said P&I Executive Editor Julie Tatge. “Even as firms grappled with volatile markets and ongoing stresses from the pandemic, their employees said they felt strong support from their managers, enabling them to do their best work.’’
Philip Anker, CEO of Ninety One North America: “Our culture of entrepreneurship and freedom to create encourages employees to present unconventional ideas, supporting both their professional growth and business impact. We bring this level of innovation, combined with a passion for positive change, to everything we do whether it’s within our investment strategies, relationships with our clients and each other or work in local communities.”
Pensions & Investments partnered with Best Companies Group, a research firm specializing in identifying great places to work, to conduct a two-part survey process of employers and their employees.
The first part consisted of evaluating each nominated company's workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems and demographics. This part of the process was worth approximately 25% of the total evaluation. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience. This part of the process was worth approximately 75% of the total evaluation. The combined scores determined the top companies.
“Pensions & Investments is proud to honor the Best Places to Work in Money Management for the 12th year. A strong workplace culture that supports talent, advocates progress and drives innovation is paramount to driving the best outcomes and these asset managers demonstrate that. Congratulations to the 2023 honorees for their commitment to employee well-being, attractive incentive structures and talent development that demonstrate how investing in your employees can elevate our industry to greater heights,” said P&I President and Publisher Nikki Pirrello.
