Legatum believes that who we are will ultimately
determine our destiny. While talent may lead to
success, it takes character to retain it. The Group
therefore sees its culture as fundamental to
creating a lasting legacy of investment success.
Legatum’s values are reflected in its 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
At Legatum, we have a culture of excellence in investing. We take great pride in the
quality of our work. To maintain our success, we take time to identify and recruit
the very best candidate for every job, knowing that the quality of our people will
determine both our culture and our success.
Creativity
We strive to be imaginative and creative in all that we do. Eschewing change for
change’s sake, we look to continually innovate and refine our approaches, challenging
ourselves to find creative solutions to non-standard problems.
Performance
Conceptualisation of an idea is only the
beginning. To succeed, we have a relentless
attention to detail and a focus on results based
performance.
Teamwork
We stress teamwork in everything we
do. While we foster individual creativity
and development, this often produces the
best results as part of a team effort. We
celebrate each person’s unique talents and
encourage each other to become the best
people we can be.
Entrepreneurship
Whether in a large or small endeavour,
entrepreneurs are crucial to a company’s
development. We seek to hire people who
think like leaders and who make decisions based
on their convictions rather than their fears.
Integrity
Integrity and honesty are at the heart of our
business. We share a commitment to high
ethical standards, both at work and in our
personal lives.
Speed
Opportunity does not wait. We work with a
sense of urgency, pursuing opportunities as they
arise and allocating our resources accordingly.
Responsibility
At Legatum, when someone is managing a
project, they take full responsibility for every
aspect of its delivery.
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.
