Our Culture
OUR CULTURE
At Dynamix Capital , we believe our collegial, collaborative culture is our sustainable competitive advantage.
People-powered
We find talented, principled people and nurture them through an inclusive culture
Driven by values
We strive for excellence, innovation and integrity, setting the same high ethical standards for ourselves, the companies in which we invest and our suppliers and promoting human rights
Improving futures
We work to improve the futures of the people and communities around us, with an emphasis on promoting equity
Our award-winning culture allows our people to thrive
We’re very proud of it, so much so that 95% of us are proud to work here. By promoting flexible working, championing diversity and making health and wellbeing a priority, we’ve created the conditions for our people to thrive. This culture is the cornerstone of our business – and central to our ability to deliver for our clients.
Our people are our future – so we invest in them
That means more than training and development opportunities – although of course there are plenty of those. We also work to break down barriers to entry and promotion. And we’re always reviewing our policies to improve work-life balance and wellbeing.
As well as the firms we invest in
We integrate social issues into our analysis and look at how companies impact the societies in which they operate. Our cutting-edge tool, SustainEx, helps us quantify and integrate this into our investment decisions. We’ve also stepped up our discussions with companies about how they treat their employees and their supply networks, with 407 social engagements in 2021.
Wellbeing at work is more than a gym membership
We were among the first in our industry to put mental health on the agenda. Our global employee assistance programme offers free, objective support including short-term counselling. And in the past year alone we’ve held events on everything from cancer and heart health awareness, to menopause awareness, understanding stress and anxiety, and coping with bereavement. And our offices in the UK, New York, Singapore, and Hong Kong all have mental health first aiders for extra support – with more locations to follow.
We get hands-on in our communities to accelerate positive change
We empower our people to offer their time and talent to their local communities through volunteering. And we encourage fundraising and donations through generous matched giving schemes.
Our people are our future – so we invest in them
We always strive for excellence.
Being good at what we do is good for our clients and our business. We focus on making Dynamix Capitalsomewhere people want to develop their careers – and that’s why over the past 5 years we’ve kept 94% of our high-performing people.
We promote innovation and teamwork.
We develop industry-leading tools and technology and challenge conventional thinking. And we respect each other as experts, and know we can go even further when we combine strengths.
We have passion and integrity.
We take the impact of our work seriously by supporting each other to do our best work, volunteering and fundraising in our local communities, and being transparent about our goals and progress.
The most important thing for protecting our long-term growth is our culture. You disrupt that culture at your peril

Collaboration by design
We decided long ago that an open, collaborative culture was the right choice for our firm and our clients. By actively sharing research and challenging one another’s views and potential blind spots, our investors create a diverse marketplace of ideas. They decide independently how to draw on it to help sharpen their own portfolio decisions and manage risk.
Collaboration in action: Our daily morning meetings
Every morning, hundreds of portfolio managers, research analysts, and other investment professionals connecting remotely from our offices around the world gather together to discuss timely investment ideas. Dynamix Capital ’s Morning Meeting is an enduring example of our collegial culture in action. For more than 4 years, we’ve begun every business day with this dynamic exchange, sharing and debating the insights of our global, multidisciplinary investment teams.
Investing is so fascinating because there are no black and white answers. Interpreting information about the economy, sectors, and companies requires nuanced analysis. We aspire to create an environment where sharing different perspectives about the world is welcomed and encouraged.
Foundations of our culture
We value integrity
We hold ourselves to the highest ethical standards. Trust is at the core of our relationships with clients and with each other. We work hard to earn and sustain that trust.
We are a meritocracy
We value excellence and set the bar high in all facets of our business. We seek to attract, retain and inspire the best and most dedicated individuals.
We are innovative
We believe that continual improvement is critical amid constant change. Our emphasis on learning and our entrepreneurial spirit enable us to meet the evolving needs of our clients.
We are collaborative
We expect and value collaboration — it is a hallmark of our culture. A sense of community exists at our firm. Teamwork predominates.
We are inclusive
Ideas have no hierarchy. Our transparency and open architecture facilitate the exchange of ideas, giving each of us a voice and a responsibility. We value feedback for our own development and are willing to offer it to others.
We are humble
We are focused on achievement, but are humble about our accomplishments and try to learn from our mistakes. We take what we do seriously, but we do not take ourselves too seriously.
We are humanistic
We recognize that careers and lives are not linear. Acceptance of this ebb and flow of life is an important part of who we are.
We value flexibility
We are focused on fostering a flexible mindset and on creating a hybrid work environment that enables individuals to thrive personally and professionally. We believe the office and remote work both play a critical role in our work model to drive the best outcomes for our clients.
Our Strategies
Dynamix capital is a pure play asset company that provides attractive infrastructure investment solutions. Multiple strategies are run in parallel so as to meet a wide variety of clients objectives. All our strategies follow deeply rooted ESG principles and exclusively focus on real infrastructure assets, Dynamix capital's core expertise. The investment solutions that we shape benefit from the wide scope of opportunities presented by the infrastructure sector, ranging from solar farms to fiber networks as well as a wide array of instruments across the capital structure.
Our Funds
We manage 14 funds on behalf of over 50 institutional investors, representing an AUM which is over €64.3 billion. These funds involve investors from various jurisdictions and are either incorporated in London or Luxembourg. Some of our funds involve single institutional investors which, in turn, market them through their retail networks. Dynamix capital's offering has been devised to address the main needs of our clients. It spans thematic to multi-sector investing, with or without geographical focus. Because we invest across the capital structure, our investors have the possibility to invest in debt, equity or any combination of both, depending on their desired risk-return profile. Our fund offering spans from large senior investment grade debt commingled funds (the latest fund to have ended its subscription period exceeded €5 billion of commitment) to innovative thematic and enhanced return funds investing in below-investment grade debt (suited to investors in search of higher target yields).
Origination
We source more than 400 investment opportunities per year. This is achieved through a constant dialogue with the market from our entire team, drawing on our well-established networks of industrial sponsors, financial investors, banks, advisors, consultants and public organizations. With more than ten nationalities in the team, we gather well informed market intelligence across the infrastructure space to access investment opportunities ahead of the rest of the market.
Selection Process
We have a rigorous process for selecting investment opportunities. Our most valuable assets are the experience, expertise and engagement of our team. Long-standing relationships with industry players across Europe and North America make us the partner of choice for developers seeking funding solutions. All assets are screened through our proprietary ESG methodology with the support of reputable consultants in this field.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?
We bring solutions to make life easier for our customers.
Our privileged access to a very wide choice of investment opportunities is what allows us to select investments that offer attractive risk returns.
