The value investment team
We are a team of eight investment professionals who work together on the equities desk in the Value Investment team at Schroders. Over the past decade we have implemented a value investment strategy, a contrarian and proven approach to investing. The value investment team is responsible for over £12.4bn assets*, managed in a disciplined value style.
