    Innovation We strive to create opportunities with new approaches and resources. Our Guiding Integrity Principles We do the right thing for the right reasons. Our culture is defined by six core values. They are the key to our storied legacy and the guide to our daily business decisions. Excellence We pride ourselves on the quality of our work, and we seek to exceed expectations. Entrepreneurship We believe that great organizations are built by employing and partnering with the best and brightest people. Talent We believe in fostering individual creativity and a sense of ownership. Stewardship We are dedicated to safeguarding the capital and trust of our clients, and advancing their best interests. A Letter From Managing Partner Peter Lawson-Johnston II At the time of writing this letter, the world is enduring a health crisis while the United States is undergoing a self-examination of societal inequities, both of which are challenging our preconceived notions of where and how we work, learn, worship, and most importantly, how we connect with each other as a community. This is our fourth annual Impact Report that documents our achievements and values as they relate to contributing to the communities where we live and work. But how do you assess your impact on the world, as a business, and as a corporate citizen, when the world seemingly has fundamentally changed? A crisis of this scale is remarkable in how it forces one to focus simultaneously on the uncertainty of today as well as the uncertainty of next year or future decades. Uncertainty can be insidious, and it is easy to withdraw or disengage.

  • Annual Report 2018
    PRINCIPLES FOR RESPONSIBLE INVESTMENT Annual Report 2018 An investor initiative in partnership with UNEP Finance Initiative and UN Global Compact THIS ANNUAL REPORT SETS OUT HOW OUR WORK OVER THE PAST YEAR CONTRIBUTES TO THE GOALS OF OUR 10-YEAR BLUEPRINT FOR RESPONSIBLE INVESTMENT 2 ANNUAL REPORT | 2018 3 FOREWORD Chair, Martin Skancke One of our longstanding commitments has been to bring the PRI closer to our signatories through more regional support. Last year, we hired a first-ever head of China to meet the growing interest in responsible investment that we see not only in that country but also in other countries across the region, most notably in Malaysia, Singapore and South Korea. Not content to stand still In Europe, we’ve added a head of Benelux and a head of Nordic, CEE and CIS. A MEANINGFUL COMMITMENT Accountability is another priority in the Blueprint. Following considerable consultation and discussion, the PRI is implementing minimum requirements for signatories. We will work closely with those who are not meeting the requirements in order to help them improve their performance. Failure to meet these requirements by 2020 would result in delisting. But, in order to further move responsible investment forward, it is equally important to recognise leadership. We will highlight and share good practices being carried out by our signatories. At this year’s PRI in Person in San Francisco, we will be announcing the establishment of leadership As we look back over the past year, delivering on the awards, the first of which will be awarded at PRI in Person ambitious agenda outlined in our Blueprint for responsible 2019 in Paris.

  • Indiana Department of Insurance Approves Plan to Protect the Policyholders and Employees of Standard Life of Indiana, Now in Rehabilitation
    INDIANA DEPARTMENT OF INSURANCE APPROVES PLAN TO PROTECT THE POLICYHOLDERS AND EMPLOYEES OF STANDARD LIFE OF INDIANA, NOW IN REHABILITATION INDIANAPOLIS, DECEMBER 22, 2010 – Indiana Insurance Commissioner Stephen W. Robertson today announced an agreement by which Standard Life Insurance Company of Indiana, which has been in rehabilitation for two years, would be reorganized. Among other things, the agreement contemplates that Guggenheim Life and Annuity Company would reinsure policies originally issued by Standard Life. As part of the transaction, Guggenheim Life and Annuity and its affiliates also would take over Standard Life’s offices in Carmel and guarantee employment to Standard Life’s 55 employees for at least 18 months. Guggenheim Life and Annuity currently has its principal place of business in Indianapolis. The agreement, which is still subject to approval by the Marion County Circuit Court and other closing conditions, would provide security for the nearly 34,000 individuals, including 3,400 Indiana residents, who hold annuities and other insurance policies issued by Standard Life. “This agreement promises a successful conclusion to the Department’s efforts to protect the policyholders of this company,” Robertson said. “It’s a credit to our rehabilitation team and to Guggenheim Life and Annuity that the solution, in addition to achieving our primary goal of protecting consumers, would keep the business operations and the jobs in Indiana.” Robertson said that the orderly process for the reorganization of Standard Life and transfer of its policies means that the Department’s rehabilitation efforts would not result in additional costs to taxpayers and would protect the full cash value of policies for its customers.
