We Value Our Communities
The demand to be socially responsible comes from within Marshall Wace’s culture. We are more than individual good actors, rather, we are the sum of our parts and attract employees and clients who share the same values.
Supporting our Communities
The demand to be socially responsible comes from within Marshall Wace’s culture. We are more than individual good actors, rather, we are the sum of our parts and attract employees and clients who share the same values.
Our staff organise and participate in charitable endeavours, and the company supports them. Each region has a Charity of the Year programme, where staff nominate charities to receive both financial and strategic support. Individual giving is matched by Marshall Wace, and in the UK staff participate in the Give As You Earn (GAYE) scheme, for which we earned the Payroll Giving Diamond Award in 2021.
We are committed to acting with integrity, accountability and fairness in everything we do. We have a robust moral and ethical code that’s applied rigorously across all areas of our business.
Our Engagement
We currently have 50+ different nationalities out of 450 employees.
Marshall Wace is an equal opportunity employer. The diverse perspectives and abilities of our staff are recognised as invaluable assets in helping the firm achieve its goals. Our employees are encouraged to bring their ideas and personal experiences in ways that help support each other, which in turn, benefits our clients.
We recognise that our industry has historically faced challenges in achieving gender balance, as well as ethnic representation, and we are continually seeking to attract more women and ethnic minorities into financial services, particularly in the investment, quantitative and technology fields, which make up a significant proportion of our headcount.
Diversity of thought is key to disruption and change, and we are focused on empowering students and young people to break through barriers to reach their full potential.
Sustainable Investing is an organisational focus. Sustainable investing is part of how we fulfil our duty to act in our clients’ best interests whilst caring for our employees and communities. Marshall Wace is committed to achieving positive social and environmental impact.
Marshall Wace endeavours to integrate sustainable investing principles into various investment strategies. We consider environmental and governance factors and data, along with other factors, for idea generation, identification of thematic opportunities and risk assessments.
