Investment Thesis
Aberdeen Group plc focuses on helping investors achieve financial goals through specialist knowledge in Asia and emerging markets, specialist equities, real assets, and both public and private credit. The thesis centers on four mega trends: democratisation of finance, ageing populations, Asia and emerging markets, and climate change.
Manager's Experience
Aberdeen Group is led by Chief Executive Officer Jason Windsor, with the investment platform managed by a senior leadership team overseeing public equities, fixed income, real assets, and private credit across 25+ locations globally. The firm traces its origins to Aberdeen Asset Management founded in 1983, with Standard Life Aberdeen formed through the 2017 merger and rebranded to abrdn in 2021 and to Aberdeen Group plc in 2024. The team brings decades of specialist experience in Asia, emerging markets, and multi-asset strategies.
