working at comgest

Comgest encourages autonomy and initiative in our employees. This plays a motivating role for every employee regardless of their position and reflects one of our partnership values. Employee input and a collaborative approach are also key principles, which we put to practice in regular, full office, staff meetings.

DIVERSE & ENGAGED
Comgest is an international, multicultural group of more than 150 employees, representing around 30 nationalities and offices in Europe, Asia and North America. We view our diversity and broad range of experiences, skillsets and views as a key to our success. We aim to maintain a gender balance in the workplace, which currently consists of around 49% women and 51% men, with 37% of our analysts and portfolio managers being women (as of end June 2026).

ACTIVE PARTNERS
Our foundations and growth are due to our partnership culture. From our founders to our interns, we seek out talented professionals that we believe can go the distance – reinforcing our group, our business and our future.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Our capital is financial and human. We aim to engage not just our clients, but our employees in order to sustain our broad partnership. We encourage continued professional development via employee training that is tailored to needs and potential.

RESPONSIBILITY
Social and environmental responsibility are embedded in our day-to-day activities, conduct and business. Embedding these values into the firm's responsible investment policy helps improve society, but also reinforces client and employee trust.

GIVING BACK

In addition to being an asset manager, The Comgest Foundation is the philanthropic arm of the Comgest Group and is dedicated to the support of various projects, such as education, supporting people with disabilities or other programs which aim to improve the lives of people in need. Comgest employees act as 'ambassadors' to nominate potential projects and to follow up on their progress.

OUR VALUES

PARTNERSHIP

Our attitude is that of a partnership. We think and act like an owner, sharing responsibilities, risks and rewards. The long-term contribution of Comgest members to the company is reflected by a gradual increase in share ownership that requires patience and commitment.

our values

quality

Our belief is that positive results are achieved by consistently applying our quality growth investment philosophy. We assign greater value to maintaining product quality than to increasing AUM. Environmental, social and governance criteria is built in, not bolted on.

our values

courage

We dare to be different. Comgest’s founders designed our partnership as a workplace where people have sufficient space and freedom to express themselves. We take educated risks in the interests of our clients, but balance these with experience and responsibility. It’s about having courage in our convictions.
