Diversity and inclusion statement
At Winton, we strive to attract and retain a diverse mix of highly skilled individuals that can deliver on our strategic priorities, while enhancing our Company and embracing its philosophy.
We recruit through a fair and thorough selection process, which is tailored to each role and seeks to mitigate biases. Our objective is to hire talent from a variety of backgrounds, providing a broad perspective and diversity of thought.
We are focused on creating an inclusive working environment – free from discrimination, harassment or unfair treatment – where everyone feels able to contribute and fulfil their potential. This focus is underpinned by our Equality Policy, robust HR processes and ongoing employee engagement. We also provide the flexibility for employees to balance their professional and personal lives.
All employees have access to professional development opportunities and are encouraged to proactively enhance their skills by pursuing further studies. We ensure a fair and consistent approach to promotion and remuneration decisions, by soliciting viewpoints and consensus from the Winton Group Limited Board (the “Group Board”) and Executive Management Committee (the “EMC”). This approach ensures that key organisational decisions are based on capability and merit, rather than biases based on individual characteristics or parochial behaviour.
The Group Board and the EMC – as the management bodies of Winton Group Limited and Winton Capital Management Limited, respectively – are committed to good governance principles. This extends to identifying board and committee members using objective criteria that highlights diversity of thought and experience, rather than focusing on gender and race alone.
We recognise the benefit that diversity, in its broadest sense, brings to our firm and to our clients.
