Our decisions and actions are guided by these philosophies
Innovation
Innovation is key to delivering asymmetrical outcomes as the scale of healthcare and retirement issues to be addressed requires it.
Impact
Impact is intentionally measured as an end in itself and of itself to yield meaningful outcomes greater than the sum of efforts
Integrity
We act only in the aligned interests of our community of seniors and the Scheme’s institutional investors
