Culture

SSP_3351.jpg
Our overriding objective is excellence. When we say excellence, we mean constant improvement. Our mission of understanding how the world’s markets and economies work requires an extraordinary team, defined by the best individuals and the best portfolio of people, operating in an idea meritocracy, where we are uncompromising on our shared values of truth, integrity, determination, humility, and courage. This way of being is a self-reinforcing cycle that propels us forward through good and bad times and creates deep meaning in our work and relationships.
