SCAMMER ALERT
Please be aware of scammers falsely impersonating FSI representatives about potential investments. FSI representatives do not make direct contact with prospective individual investors on investment opportunities. These are not legitimate approaches from FSI. Find out more about combating investment scams.
At Stewart Investors, we believe in putting people first. Our investment world-view is of a series of partnerships – with each other, with our clients, with the companies we invest in, the people who buy their goods and services, and with the wider society in which we all live and work.

Our strategy
In 2022, we launched our global Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) strategy comprising four pillars: belonging, equity, engaging and alignment.
We continue to embed our DE&I strategy through:
- Building awareness and advocacy
- Equipping our managers to lead inclusively
- Policy and process enhancements, including the ongoing review of our recruitment and selection practices, and
- By continually listening to feedback from employees.
We are proud of our employee-led communities where our people who share an identity or join in allyship come together to foster an inclusive culture. Our communities in certain regions focus on disability, ethnicity, gender, LGBTQ+, neurodiversity and socioeconomic issues. They play a vital role in amplifying the voices of our under-represented people and bringing diversity, equity and inclusion to life at First Sentier Investors.
