Pros
Its strong heritage and reputation, a comprehensive range of investment products, and global reach with offices worldwide. The company is known for developing innovative, sustainable investment solutions and offers specialized active investment management across public and private markets. Schroders also emphasizes a long-term client focus, driven by its stable ownership structure, and a commitment to acting in clients' best interests.
Cons
Potentially complex and higher fees, variability in fund performance, high minimum investment thresholds, and a perception of slow career progression and low pay for employees, especially compared to its competitors. Some of Schroders' offerings have also been found to be in lower performance quartiles or have experienced falling market share, and the company's shift to a more corporate culture has been noted by employees as a negative change.
