Benefits of a fundamental approach

Company-level engagement and expertise

Rigorous research and selection process leads to thoroughly vetted, high-conviction investments - and portfolios that can offer returns differentiated from indexes.

Investment flexibility

Ability to exercise discretion and react to changing market conditions helps fundamental investors to nimbly capture opportunities and manage risks as they arise.

Enhanced diversification and return potential

Powerful complement to index strategies, helping to enhance return outcomes, diversify risk and target long-term objectives.

“Always-on” risk management

Embedded risk management tools and technology to ensure risks taken are deliberate, diversified and properly scaled.

An active approach to long-term growth in equities

Active investors see opportunity in all markets ― even turbulent ones. Volatility offers stock pickers the prospect to capitalize on dispersion and inefficiencies within and across individual stocks and sectors. Carrie King, U.S. and Developed Markets CIO of Fundamental Equities, offers perspective shaped by a 30-year equity investing career.
