Corporate
Strategy
Our strategy is one of asset class management, using specialisation within teams to develop a deep understanding of the dynamics of a market, giving us a clear competitive advantage and a distinctive position in the marketplace. This allows a more focused approach to our selected markets. Bringing together the origination and asset management teams in our chosen asset classes ensures that we align our activities and allows us to balance value protection with value creation. Our clients benefit from the combination of expertise, versatility and long-term commitment, allowing us to provide superior customer service. This approach, with the aim of delivering significant and sustainable shareholder returns, has seen Corporate’s results grow from strength to strength.
The key aspects of our strategy to deliver our overall objective are:
Selective asset growth, whilst preserving strong margins and exercising vigilant credit risk management
Our focus on asset class management delivers growth opportunities to allow us to add to the sectors in which we are already market leaders and support strong growth in other selected markets. We continue to seek quality opportunities at the right price and with the right partners, concentrating on returns rather than volumes and remain focused on maximising sell down opportunities. Our shareholders benefit from an operating model designed to generate significant and sustainable shareholder returns.
Drive value for money from all our expenditure
Cost discipline for Corporate means driving value for money from all expenditure by understanding fully why we incur costs and how they support our stated objectives. We will continue to challenge how we can deliver a superior service, from innovation and delivery of differentiating strategic projects, while minimising costs.
