The Boston Company Asset Management (TBCAM) offers both traditional and alternative equity investment products that encompass a variety of US, non-US and global strategies. The firm provides investment advice for the following types of strategies: US domestic equity, balanced, non-US equity, emerging markets equity and long/short equity. Portfolios generally are composed of individual securities. TBCAM seeks consistent delivery of alpha across a broad range of investment strategies. They are committed to a value-oriented, research-driven and risk-aware investment approach. TBCAM seeks to identify attractive stocks through rigorous quantitative and fundamental analyses blended with analysis of current business momentum and places controls on sector selection and, if applicable, country selection. Short sales and similar strategies are considered part of their overall investment strategy; however, they are not used across the account base in the management of account assets. The firm may use these strategies for certain accounts consistent with the client's guidelines, objectives, and restrictions.

JHIUS offers US equity, global and international equity, fixed income, asset allocation and alternative investment strategies, including long-short portfolios. For their fundamental investment strategies, the firm seeks to add value versus benchmarks by actively pursuing alpha generation through their own intensive fundamental research. They utilize two complementary processes: a top-down macro analysis and a bottom-up risk/reward analysis.
