Collaboration by design
We decided long ago that an open, collaborative culture was the right choice for our firm and our clients. By actively sharing research and challenging one another’s views and potential blind spots, our investors create a diverse marketplace of ideas. They decide independently how to draw on it to help sharpen their own portfolio decisions and manage risk.
Collaboration in action: Our daily morning meetings
Every morning, hundreds of portfolio managers, research analysts, and other investment professionals — connecting remotely from our offices around the world — gather together to discuss timely investment ideas. Wellington Management’s Morning Meeting is an enduring example of our collegial culture in action. For more than 60 years, we’ve begun every business day with this dynamic exchange, sharing and debating the insights of our global, multidisciplinary investment teams.
Investing is so fascinating because there are no black and white answers. Interpreting information about the economy, sectors, and companies requires nuanced analysis. We aspire to create an environment where sharing different perspectives about the world is welcomed and encouraged.
