Our Values

Legatum Compensation Philosophy

At Legatum we believe that who we are will ultimately determine our destiny. While talent may lead to success, it takes character to retain it. We see our culture as fundamental to creating a lasting legacy of investment success and thereore Legatum’s values are reflected in our business principles - respect for universal values, principles before profits, stewardship and accountability, and the responsibility and privilege of helping the world around us become a better place.

Excellence and Elegance

At Legatum, we have a long legacy and deep culture of excellence in investing. We use our creativity, energy and relentless focus on results to achieve outsized returns, while maintaining a sense of refinement in all that we do. We seek to be the best we can be, both in terms of what we do and who we are, knowing that our character will drive our success at work and in life.

Performance

In our business the creation of value starts with the right ideas, but requires follow through with discipline and alacrity. Our investment performance is driven by an alchemy of enterpreneurship, hard work, patience and the commitment to invest boldly on the basis of our convictions not our fears. Ultimately we welcome the accountability of the markets, where one's performance is measured on the basis of real outcomes not merely efforts.

Servant Leadership

Everyone at Legatum is here to serve each other and the Mission. We are a team and know that we depend on each other for our mutual success and the legacy we are building together. We take responsibility for our actions, maintain a sense of humility and seek to build trust. We share credit when we meet with success and support each other when challenges arise.

Integrity and Trust

Integrity and trust are the foundations of vibrant markets, successful companies and healthy relationships, and are therefore core to our business. At Legatum we have the courage to tell the truth in a helpful manner and maintain the highest standards of ethics, both at work and in our personal lives.

Sanuk

Sanuk is a Thai word meaning ‘to have a good time’ or ‘to derive pleasure and joy from something’ - for something to be worth doing, it has to be Sanuk! Similarly, at Legatum, we strive to find joy in everything we do.
