Creating value at Jardines

Founded in China in 1832, Jardine Matheson is a diversified investment company with a strong focus on Asia. For nearly two centuries, we have built a solid foundation of experience and expertise in the region.

Our purpose is to deliver superior, long-term returns to shareholders from a portfolio of market-leading businesses focused on Asia.

How we create value

We are an engaged, long-term investor in our portfolio companies. Our investment proposition demonstrates how we create value for our shareholders with a focus on Total Shareholder Return (TSR).

Capital allocation

The Group prioritises organic investment in our existing business portfolio to drive long-term earnings growth and returns. We are committed to the continued progression of dividend payments as our earnings grow over time. Beyond that, we review M&A opportunities in new businesses and consider increasing investments in existing Group companies, including through share buybacks. All of this is supported by maintaining a strong balance sheet and investment grade credit metrics, which give us the confidence and flexibility to invest where we see the right opportunities, even at times of financial dislocation.
