Our Culture
Our culture of results is engrained in the fabric of who we are, our investment approach, and how we run our business. It is a culture rooted in quality. We are dedicated to supporting and empowering our people and our community.
We have created a results-only work environment (ROWE) that fosters continuous improvement, learning, and a growth mindset. We are extremely proud of ROWE’s influence on the talent we are able to attract and its positive effects on outcomes for our clients and the communities we serve. From offering an innovative work environment to investing in continuing education of each employee, Polen Capital is committed to doing the right thing in the right way for our clients, our community, and our team.
Do the right thing: Our clients are the reason we are in business. We make every decision with the best interests of our clients, employees, and external partners in mind.
Do more than expected: Excellence, not perfection, is the base; unexpected service and performance is the goal. Going a step further sets us apart from the competition.
Respect the individual: We build trust with both clients and colleagues by acting with integrity and respect. We seek diversity of thought and encourage inclusion through collaboration, recognizing that world-class results are achieved together.
Our culture has helped Polen Capital to be named among the best places to work by Pensions & Investments each of the last nine years.
Our commitment to Diversity & Inclusion focuses on driving representation for people of underrepresented backgrounds within the asset management industry, expanding our ability to go beyond for those we serve.
