We are passionate about nurturing the next generation of STEM talent. We partner with some of the most impactful charities and institutions, whose missions are to make careers in research and technology more accessible.
We run an annual work experience programme for London-based students aged 16-18. Over the course of one week, participants will learn more about G-Research, as well as benefitting from bespoke interview and soft-skills training.
To support and encourage early career researchers, we run regular prizes and grants for PhD students and postdocs globally.
Every month, we give away up to £2,000 per entrant as part of our monthly PhD grant, with over 50 winners in 2023 alone.
We also run a number of PhD prizes and competitions throughout the year, alongside leading academic institutions.

The statistics reflect that the best paying roles in our business require undergraduate and in many cases postgraduate study in maths, computer science, the physical sciences and technology. Men account for roughly three times as many graduates* in these subjects as women and have done for many years and so not surprisingly, men hold more of the best paying roles in our business. We believe this gender imbalance is a missed opportunity for the industry and we welcome applications from smart, qualified women who are interested in what we do.

Introduction
The G-Research group is committed to being a responsible taxpayer, complying with local tax laws and regulations and with OECD guidance. The primary objective of G-Research’s tax strategy is accurate and timely tax compliance. This includes the following:
Approach to Risk Management and Governance Arrangements in Relation to UK Taxation
Responsibility for G-Research’s tax contribution, tax risk and governance ultimately sits with the Board and Management Committee; however, day-to-day responsibility is delegated to the Head of Finance and the Head of Tax. They are supported by the wider Finance team.
G-Research’s tax compliance function is managed by its team of in-house qualified accountants, ensuring that tax decisions are informed and current. A control framework is in place to ensure that tax risks, including changes to relevant laws, regulations and guidance, are identified in a timely manner and subsequent action is taken to mitigate those risks to an acceptably low level. Tax risks and responses are documented to ensure that G-Research’s tax strategy remains transparent, and to ensure that it is communicated to and recognised by those in charge of governance.
Attitude Towards Tax Planning and Risk
G-Research does not consider tax planning to be a major driver in determining business strategy and key decision making. G-Research has a low-risk appetite in terms of tax planning opportunities.
We may utilise available tax reliefs and incentives where appropriate and in a manner which is consistent with the government’s policy objectives.
Applicable tax advice will be sought from external advisors in respect of material transactions or when the Finance team do not have the necessary expertise required in a particular area. Significant transactions within, or changes to, the business is reviewed and approved by the Board or Management Committee.
Our Approach to Working With HMRC
G-Research looks to maintain an open, positive and cooperative working relationship with HMRC.
We are committed to working with HMRC to resolve any issues that arise and to providing appropriate disclosure of relevant facts to enable the progression of HMRC enquiries.
This strategy statement has been prepared in accordance with paragraphs 19(2) and 25 of Schedule 19 of the Finance Act 2016 and provides an overview of G-Research’s policy and approach to its tax affairs for the financial period ended 31 March 2024. This strategy was published on 1 March 2024.
