Diversity & Inclusion
Capitalsave Investment Partners is committed to promoting equal opportunities and encouraging, valuing, and managing diversity among our team.
We believe in equality for all staff and the creation of a workforce that is representative of all sections of society, where each employee feels respected and is comfortable being themselves.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion are at the core of our values. At Capitalsave Investment Partners, our client portfolios aren't built by a single manager but by diverse teams that bring different points of view and ideas to help investors reach their long-term goals.
This distinctive approach is part of our commitment to embracing all aspects of diversity, equity, and inclusion, unlocking the power that comes from building teams that encourage active voices at every level. We believe the success of our investors depends on the people in whom we invest.
OUR APPROACH
Learn, Unlearn, and Relearn
We learn every day from the day we are born. As children, much of what we learn is belief – what we think is true. As adults, we naturally get trapped in these beliefs, making it difficult to see another perspective. Our DE&I program aims to help us systematically challenge what we think we know, fostering a mindset of curiosity and growth by highlighting unconscious bias, exposing different views, and encouraging courageous conversations.

Senior management takes specific steps to foster this environment and cultivate inclusiveness through appropriate training at all levels and regions. We pursue diversity initiatives in recruitment, mentoring, training, and workplace flexibility. We have signed the Women in Finance Charter, 30% Club, and the Diversity Project to accelerate our progress toward our diversity and inclusion goals. All our staff experiences and perspectives are invaluable to making Capitalsave Investment Partners a more diverse, inclusive, and successful company.

Measuring our change
Numbers can’t tell the whole story, but a closer look provides an at-a-glance snapshot of where we are and where we still need to go. These benchmarks will help guide us as we build a path forward.
Innovative development programs
From recruitment to leadership, our flagship programs are designed to both mentor and advance the career paths of underrepresented associates.
Programs like Capitalsave Investment Partners Group and Women Leading AI focus on female employees, while Capitalsave Investment Partners and emerging leaders are focused on racial diversity across the board.
Inclusive Benefits
We have tailored our benefits and wellness programs to support the needs of the diversity of our associates. That means resources for early-career team members, those caring for aging loved ones, single parents, LGBTQ+ families, transgender associates, and more, all with a focus on physical and mental well-being.
Addressing Bias In The Recruiting Process
To help mitigate any potential unconscious bias from the early-career hiring process, our Talent Acquisition Team stopped sharing resumes with hiring managers, so they could focus on the candidate — their background, experience, and thought process.
As a result of our DE&I efforts, we hired a more racially and gender diverse pool of interns, with 50/50 gender balance and 58% representation from racial minorities.
Fair Pay
At Capitalsave Investment Partners, our pay practices focus on fairness. Each role within our organization is compensated based on the responsibilities of that role and the experience and performance of the associate — irrespective of race, ethnicity, or gender identity.
We're proud to say that a fair pay study conducted by an independent consultant demonstrated that we have pay equity broadly in the U.K.
Capitalsave Investment Partners (CsIP) Communities
Our 200+ Capitalsave Investment Partners Communities — sometimes called associate resource groups — empower our people to help lift the voices of everyone at Capitalsave Investment Partners.
Capitalsave Investment Partners Communities are driven by our associates who unite around common experiences and passions, becoming allies for inclusion and equity. Capitalsave Investment Partners Communities represent a rich diversity of identities and interests, including race/ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, faith, mental health, and much more. The list is always growing, as our employees raise their hands to create new Communities for our people to connect.
Improving our culture. Impacting our community.
As a global leader, we recognize that the world around us is changing, so we’re changing the way we invest — both in funds and in our people. When we create an environment of integrity, respect, and true collaboration, our people can carry these principles from the company to their community.
