Life at Schroders Personal Wealth
We believe it is more important than ever that the culture and the values of the organisation you work for, resonate with you personally.
We have created a culture that is right for our colleagues, one that they feel proud of and motivated by.
Our culture
At Schroders Personal Wealth we shape and drive our culture together. We empower all colleagues, regardless of title, background or experience to embrace innovative thinking, take ownership of decisions, and lead positive change.
Throughout the year, colleagues participate in unique events designed to foster collaboration, share impactful stories, and spark new ideas.
At SPW, you don't have to feel like your job is confined to a job description, it’s such an inviting company where you are encouraged to get involved in different things.

Employee networks
Employee networks at SPW are much more than a space for colleagues from diverse backgrounds and communities to come together. Being involved in a network increases engagement to enhance learning and understanding. They create opportunities for colleagues to share experiences and educate others. They highlight the skills and creativity of colleagues that can be shared across the organisation. Networks help drive SPW to make changes to ensure everyone feels represented.

DEI Networks and Culture
Our company standards
We help people make plans to get to where they want to be in their lives. That’s a great responsibility – and it clearly points us towards a really important purpose. In three words, we change lives. Our purpose is the overarching reason behind everything we do and is supported by our company standards.
We put clients first
Our clients are at the heart of everything we do. We consistently ensure that the actions we take benefit our clients; putting them first to provide the best possible experience. We challenge ourselves to think differently and are always seeking to improve by finding new ways to help our clients.
We are responsible
We each take accountability to get it right. Every single day. We are crystal clear on our responsibilities as individuals and as a team and work together to provide full and complete confidence in our delivery for the benefit of our clients.
We collaborate
We work together to help our clients and colleagues achieve their goals. We seek opportunities to assist our colleagues and share our knowledge. We are open to accepting advice and support from others to benefit our shared goals.
We change
We seek new ways to grow and develop our personal capabilities and know we will be supported. We consistently adapt and find new ways of working brilliantly together, being open to new ideas and welcoming challenge.
Gender Equality
Our vision is for all colleagues, whatever their role or circumstance, to have the resources and flexibility they need to achieve what’s important to them, both inside and outside work.
We are committed to doing more to ensure all colleagues have equal opportunities regardless of their gender. By signing the Women in Finance Charter, we have publicly pledged to support the progression of women into senior roles. We are committed to monitoring the numbers closely over the coming years and doing more to improve gender diversity.
When we signed up to the Women in Finance Charter in June 2023, we had 32.5% female representation in senior management and our target was 37% by December 2028.
As of July 2024, we have achieved our target of 37% female representation in senior management. We have therefore stretched our target to 40% by our deadline of December 2028 and believe we are on track to achieve this.
Ready to join the team?
We partner with these organisations to promote and support equality and are committed to understanding and embracing different perspectives, creating an environment where people can be themselves and express their individuality. We’re working hard to build an inclusive business that reflects the diversity of modern Britain.
