These teams have relative autonomy for making investment decisions within the strategies' objectives and client guidelines. Each investment team member specializes in an industry or group of industries. A bottom-up investment approach emphasizes detailed fundamental analysis. All portfolio managers perform research and contribute ideas, and the entire investment staff meets daily to exchange market perspectives and investment ideas.
