Our Values & Culture
Hayfin was built as an institution that would endure, with an approach that would differentiate us from others in the market. One of the first things we did as a team was to set out our culture and values.
Values inform behaviour and the way we behave gives Hayfin, our investors and other stakeholders the best chance of success when markets are challenging.
Values
Responsibility
We are dedicated to our partners and constantly work to stay aligned to their long-term objectives. As custodians of our investors’ capital, we are prudent with our decisions and will not lose sight of risk or our mandate in pursuit of return. We understand that if we do the right thing by our clients, our own success will follow.

Excellence
We are hard-working and dynamic, always searching for new and better ways to work, seeking feedback and challenging conventional thinking. We foster an ambitious and high-performance culture where people understand improvement is a constant exercise. We do not hide our mistakes, recognising them instead as a natural part of our personal and collective growth. We make an outsized effort to attract, retain and promote people who will challenge us and contribute to our success.

Diversity
We are committed to diversity. We appreciate that different ways of seeing and thinking can make us stronger as a team. We seek to bring people together from diverse backgrounds and aim to strike a balance in skill set, character, experience and point of view. We ensure that everyone feels valued and comfortable expressing themselves, and we use these different perspectives to solve problems and make better decisions.
