Our values and culture
Our people bring our values to life
Six shared values have shaped our culture since 1993.
Nurturing this culture matters – it’s how we stay true to our investment philosophy and focused on achieving our long-term goals. Our people bring these values to life, guiding the way we work and the interactions we have with our clients.
Our values define our culture
Ownership
Coronation is 34% employee-owned, fostering a culture where our people act and think like true stakeholders. This ownership mindset drives accountability, excellence and a collective commitment to delivering our best work.
Clients first, always
Our business is built on always putting clients first. As an active manager with no tied assets, our primary focus is on delivering exceptional investment performance across all the portfolios we manage. By placing clients at the centre of everything we do, we build lasting relationships based on trust, performance, and shared success. This approach underpins our culture of accountability, responsiveness and disciplined execution across the firm.
Long-term thinking
We have an unrelenting focus on the long term, both in how we invest and how we run our business. Where we identify value, we are willing to endure short-term underperformance in pursuit of compelling long-term outcomes for our clients. As an investment-led business, we believe the road to outperformance is paved with patience and discipline, and we assess performance over meaningful periods rather than short time frames.
Performance-driven meritocracy
We believe that exceptional performance leads to exceptional results. We are unashamedly a meritocracy and retain the soul of a boutique. We strive to create a culture that rewards contribution and is attractive to the most talented, committed investment professionals.
Team-based
We work together as a team, recognising that we achieve stronger outcomes collectively than we would on our own. We employ talented individuals and operate with a flat structure that enables world-class teams to excel. This people-centred culture is critical to our success, and every member of the firm contributes to a cohesive environment that consistently serves our clients’ best interests.
Integrity matters
We uphold the highest ethical standards, recognising that trust is not given – it is earned. Our inherent, uncompromising integrity guides every decision we make and ensures that we act in our clients’ best interests, while upholding our fiduciary duty with fairness and accountability.
