Are you interested in learning our one man's passion for investing changed the footprint of a city and the history of the Investment industry? With that in mind, welcome to the 50th episode of the Investing Matters series with me Peter Higgins @conkers3 on Twitter. As a global Investing Matters audience, you are all in for an absolute treat because this interview is with one of the true Scottish, UK and global heavyweights of the independent asset management industry. None other than the multiple award-winning Martin Gilbert FRSE, co-founder and former CEO of Aberdeen Asset Manager and the Executive Chairman of AssetCo Plc. Martin Gilbert, the humble and proud Chartered Accountant, was educated at Robert Gordon's College in Aberdeen, he then attended the same Law School as Alistair Darling (the former Chancellor of the Exchequer) at the University of Aberdeen, where is gained his law degree and his master's degree in accountancy. After university, he joined Deloitte and qualified as a chartered accountant. In 1982, he joined the investment department of local law firm Brander & Cruikshank, and a year or so later, with two others undertook a management buyout of its investment department. The new entity was called Aberdeen Fund Managers and had initial share capital of just £10,000 with £70m of assets under management, because as Martin now describes it in the 1980's asset managers were a “small cottage industry” Martin co-founded Aberdeen Fund Managers / Aberdeen Asset Management PLC in 1983 and was Chief Executive Officer from 1991 to 2017 (making him one of the longest serving CEO's at the time). During that period Aberdeen Asset Management PLC grew, through a combination of organic growth and strategic acquisition, to become one of the world's leading independent asset managers with £308 billion of AUM. In 2017 Aberdeen Asset Management PLC merged with Standard Life plc, to become Standard Life Aberdeen plc. On merging, Standard Life Aberdeen plc was the biggest UK-based asset management company and the second biggest in Europe. Martin was co-chief executive officer and subsequently vice chairman until he retired from Standard Life Aberdeen plc in September 2020. Martin is chairman of Revolut Ltd and Toscafund, deputy chairman of River and Mercantile Group PLC and senior independent director of Glencore plc, Chair of Scottish Golf, alongside several other directorships. Please listen now to learn how Martin Gilbert FRSE, the shrewd dealer maker grew Aberdeen Fund Managers into the global investment firm that we knew as Aberdeen Asset Management. Martin shares lessons learnt from encountering significant lows, including his now dislike of geared investing products/ structures and his huge successes as a CEO and leader. He explains how he identifies transformational deals, the very best fund Managers and how he retains them. Why recurring revenues are vital, the successful straits required in order to achieve long-term investing success as a CEO, fund manager and an investor. Why ESG is important, being Chairman of The Net Zero Technology Centre and its role in the energy industry. His current favourite investing markets, plus why he sees huge value in UK mid cap and even more value in the UK small cap. Martin shares an overview of Assetco Plc, a holding company for a group of wealth and asset management companies, for which he has a goal of growing into a FTSE 250 listed company. Given what Martin achieved with Aberdeen Asset Management and with the wisdom given to him by none other than Sir Alex Ferguson, I'd say that with the foundations already laid across, Active Equities, Infrastructure Asset Management, Exchange Traded Funds and Digital Platform that there is every possibility that Assetco goes onto achieve significant success.

Having been born and educated firstly in Malaysia and then in Aberdeen he says this was ‘the great stroke of luck in his life' having been born and having time in Asia, and then says it later gave him the ‘confidence to build the asset management business', which then ‘was one of the first asset companies to locate in Singapore in the early 90s'. Martin observes from his education that he finds it interesting ‘that the (academic) B class pupils at school often end up employing the(academic) A class pupils in business'.

Sign up to our newsletter for more in-depth insights | Follow us on LinkedIn Many ambitious people aspire to build a truly successful business, and inevitably, only some succeed. Yet to start with a small buy-out which nearly 40 years later has evolved into one of the UK's largest Asset Management groups with over £500 billion in assets, employing 10,00 people and with offices in 50 cities, as well as being a member of the FTSE 100, is quite an achievement. So in this podcast, to discuss the asset management industry and its future, we've gone north to Scotland, which as JK Rowling observed, is “one of the most hauntingly beautiful places in the world” and we are delighted to have as our guest the man who built and ran Aberdeen Asset Management, and which post-merger, became Standard Life Aberdeen. Martin describes his schooling and University in Aberdeen, where he studied law and accountancy, and how within a short space of time, in 1983, he and two other alumnae from Robert Gordon's College  agreed to buy Aberdeen Asset Management. He talks about expansion into Asia, growth by acquisitions and integrating firms and cultures, and how a mix of serendipity and strategy played their parts in expansion. He describes the motivation for Aberdeen to merge with Standard Life and the opportunities he believes it offers. The conversation extends to the future of Asset Management, the need for greater differentiation through philosophy and style, fee pressures, active versus passive, and the qualities he believes make for a great fund manager. We then discuss the current outlook and monetary regime, the future of fossil fuels, and the Scottish independence question that won't go away, despite compelling economic arguments for the status quo. Martin then discusses being Chairman of Revolut, being on the board of Glencore, and his experience when on the board at Sky during the bidding process. Finally Martin talks about dealing with difficulties when they confronted him, and his perfect golfing day.

Thought leadership is an essential part of any content strategy, providing key insights and the ability to motivate and inspire team members. However, there’s an argument that thought leadership’s identity has changed over time, along with business’ growing ability to promoting content through digital formats. So, what role does thought leadership play in today’s marketing mix?In this episode, Twink discusses thought leadership with Paul Zettl, Senior Vice President and Head of Global Marketing at Cohen & Steers, and James Whitman, Head of Client Communications and Content at Aviva Investors. Themes explored in this podcast:- How has thought leadership’s identity changed over time?- Stimulating and generating ideas for thought leadership and best practice content planning - Achieving cut-through in congested digital heavy communications channels- Achieving a strong, authentic, consistent voice - Tips for marketers putting their content strategy into practice Paul Zettl, Senior Vice President and head of Global Marketing at Coheen & Steels is a highly accomplished leader with over 20 years’ experience building brands as a strategic product marketer. Prior to joining Coheen & Steers, Paul was Group Vice President, Head of Product Marketing and Offer Management at T. Rowe Price, where he oversaw product marketing and offer management for the US intermediary business, as well as the launch of a global enterprise brand campaign that included cross-company integrated advertising.
