Global scale

Our business is characterised by its broad global scale. As at 30 September 2011, our funds under management was distributed as follows:

• 53% in Europe
• 29% in Asia Pacific
• 10% in the Middle East and Africa
• 8% in the Americas

We have long-standing local presence in established and emerging markets, with over 20% of our employees based in regional operating centres servicing investors and distributors or supporting the Core Investment Managers.

Our regional offices are staffed predominantly by local people, such that investors and distributors can work with specialists who speak their language and understand the culture and nuances of doing business in each region. These specialists monitor fiscal, regulatory and secular trends in local markets first hand, and are able to adapt and expand our product line accordingly
