Reputation for outperformance
Jupiter has an established reputation for delivering investment performance. Created as a performance-driven boutique, the company has now grown into a substantial institution without shedding its entrepreneurial, talent-based spirit.
People - key to success
The key to Jupiter's continued success is its ability to attract and retain some of the most talented fund managers in the business by creating the right culture for them to operate in.
Freedom to outperform
Our culture is based on the premise that talented fund managers will perform best if they invest as they see fit. Jupiter's funds are not run by committees: there are no house stock lists and no house view of markets. That kind of committee-based approach can, we believe, lead people into a rather weak compromise that ends in mediocre performance. Instead, we would argue that if you have the right managers in place you should trust their ability to make the right judgements. This strategy, as demonstrated by the awards we have won has clearly proved its worth over a long period of time.
Fund manager accountability
While our fund managers work as a closely-knit team, sharing stock ideas and debating market prospects, each manager has individual responsibility for his or her own portfolios. In no way can they be called closet index trackers - rather, each manager can pick stocks from the universe available to them with complete freedom, subject only to the constraints set by the fund's objectives and regulatory limits. This is unusual in the investment management world, but we believe it is the central tenet of keeping a fund manager motivated.
We believe long-term out-performance is best achieved through fundamental, bottom up stock-picking and recognise that this approach can result in portfolios which deviate significantly from their benchmarks.
Past performance should not be seen as a guide to future performance. The value of investments may fall as well as rise.
