Research

Utilising their presence on the ground in key markets, Standard Life Investments undertake research in all the major global equity and bond markets, from fundamental economic analysis to work on the impact of money flows and the influence of market sentiment. They have invested heavily in state of the art technology and have built their own in-house systems, which are tailored to meet their every need.

In addition, each of Standard Life Investments' investment managers has responsibilities for research into specific sectors and stocks. This independent analytical approach allows Standard Life Investments to develop their own detailed understanding of the companies they are looking to invest in and the factors, which drive their valuations. They place a huge emphasis on meeting regularly with the companies in which they invest.

Standard Life Investments encourage the free flow of ideas and investment insights across asset classes, business areas and regional offices, using a number of means to share the results of their research and investment insights. A daily investment meeting with representatives from all asset classes and offices, discusses the latest market news and investment ideas. In addition, regular sector meetings between their specialists in regional asset class teams allow their investment insights to gain a global audience.
