Active Equity
An active mindset, aiming to deliver long-term outcomes
Overview
Equity investing can provide an opportunity to share in the profits and growth of companies. We invest with an active mindset, believing that opportunities can always be uncovered through collaboration and insight. What’s more, as part of our purpose to create a better future through responsible investing, we collectively engage with companies and governments through LGIM’s unified fixed income, equity and investment stewardship teams to strive for better outcomes, both for investors and our rapidly changing world.
Active equity at LGIM
Our edge in active investing lies in our conviction that collaborative teams of experts can deliver better outcomes for investors by focusing on alpha generation. Discover more about what makes us different below.
Fundamental Research
Every investment decision is informed by rigorous analysis and a long-term focus. Our understanding of the key strengths of the business, risks, opportunities, and financials helps shape our investment view of companies and sectors. This involves bringing together knowledge across the asset classes within LGIM as part of our research engagement framework.
Sustainable businesses
We believe long-term ownership of companies which are building the future of our economy, and which can grow throughout economic cycles, is essential to achieving long-term wealth creation. Fundamentally, we are looking for sustainable companies that can create attractive long-term benefits for all stakeholders and which are either misunderstood or mispriced by investors.
Long-term themes
We look to build a connected understanding of the world by formulating views on the secular and structural trends shaping the future. Specifically focusing on those key trends which are accelerating and have addressable markets.

Responsible investing
We believe that responsible investing can strengthen long-term returns, through mitigating risks and unearthing investment opportunities.
At the heart of our investment approach is our cross-asset class research platform – the Global Research & Engagement Groups (GREGs) – which brings together teams of LGIM’s equity, fixed income and investment stewardship experts. These GREGs focus on identifying opportunities for potential future gains, as well as avoiding the risks that threaten the sustainability of future returns, all while engaging with companies for positive change.
In line with our purpose to create a better future through responsible investing, all of our active equity strategies aim to benefit from LGIM’s broader ESG integration and active engagement.
