Team Overview

The Marketing function includes Strategic Capabilities marketing, global channel and regional marketing teams, Investment Communications, Editorial Content, Events Management, Marketing Services (RFPs, RFIs), Digital Marketing, PR & Social Media and Brand & Advertising.

Background to strategic capabilities

Schroders has recently embarked on a major strategic initiative to change the way that we communicate and work with our clients. There is a lot of complexity to our business and we realised that we needed to simplify our offering and deliver a clear proposition to our clients. This initiative, which is now a core focus for the firm, is called strategic capabilities.

In launching strategic capabilities, we recognised that no two clients are the same. From working globally with the largest financial institutions to helping families save regularly for a more prosperous future, we have products and solutions to meet their requirements.

Our business has been restructured around 10 strategic capabilities, each of which is owned and managed by a dedicated Strategic Capability Manager, who is responsible for its development from a product, proposition and business perspective. Read more on Schroders’ strategic capabilities:
