Working at Liontrust
The people working at Liontrust are our most important assets. We value everyone’s
contribution to the company’s continuing success and seek to attract and retain the best
talent possible.
We have a collaborative culture, empowering employees to take
on responsibility and be accountable for their decisions, actions
and behaviours. We strive for excellence in everything we do for
the benefit of our investors, stakeholders and colleagues, and pride
ourselves on providing first-class service.
Everyone is encouraged to make decisions. Not every decision will
be right, and we have to be confident enough to recognise when
they are wrong and change them. Most businesses fail because
people don’t make decisions.
The company has created a distinct and high-profile brand. We
seek to do things differently from other asset managers rather than
following the herd. We are proud of our people and culture and
treat all our employees with respect. We are committed to the
development of our people and encourage all our employees to
fulfil their talent and potential. Liontrust recognises the importance of
an appropriate work-life balance, both for the health and welfare of
employees and for the business.
Liontrust is committed to benefiting the wider society. Our community
engagement programme includes a financial education project with
primary school children and wildlife conservation in India and Tanzania.
What Employees Say About Liontrust
Liontrust is independent and offers a high level
of autonomy for employees. Every individual
can really influence the performance of the
overall company.
Liontrust is a great place to work because we are
all working towards the same goal and we are
actively supported by each other. There are open
communication channels and a flat management
structure which helps staff to feel included and
enables decisions to be made quickly. Liontrust
is a great opportunity for people that want to
work hard as contributions are recognised and
staff feel valued. Staff are encouraged to take
responsibility and accountability for their actions
and decisions taken.

Everyone here knows how to work hard but
also have fun, we have a supportive and fun
environment. The work socials are also very fun!
I have been made to feel very welcome since
joining. Great learning and training opportunities
to support development. The work is engaging,
and teams are easy to get along with.
Working in IT I get to work with all the
departments, and I find everybody friendly
and relaxed. I regularly see the CEO and COO
out on the office floor chatting to staff and
getting involved with what’s going on. In my
team I am well supported and encouraged to
do training to further my career.
