Amundi US selects investments from a wide range of asset classes and employs a variety of styles in managing client assets. Regarding equity securities, the firm employs fundamental and quantitative research to their portfolio management approach. With respect to fixed income securities, their investment professionals consistently apply well established means of identifying potentially rewarding securities. Whether applying top-down analysis that leads to selection of government bonds, or the bottom-up approach that ends with corporate bonds being selected, the investment management team's goal is portfolio construction that matches product objectives and supports investors’ goals.

WMC relies on their extensive independent research and includes portfolio management styles and approaches in equities, fixed income securities, currencies and commodities, as well as asset allocation across these categories. The firm has several different disciplines when approaching research and these include asset allocation analysts, currency analysts, data scientists, factor analysts, fixed income credit analysts, fixed income market analysts, global industry analysts and research associates, macro-analysts, quantitative analysts and technical analysts.

Victory Capital-IM is a diversified global investment management firm offering a wide array of independent investment approaches and innovative solutions designed to drive better investment outcomes.

MLAM's worldwide approach to equity investing uses a philosophy of identifying relative value among individual stocks and stock markets by focusing primarily on two variables: reinvestment rate and the price-to-book value ratio. There are seven additional screens employed to further refine the process. The factors used to identify value include price-to-cash flow, price-to-earnings ratios, past and future earnings growth and dividend payouts. For asset allocation, a country whose market valuation measurements seem consistently above or below world averages or its own historical averages are over or under-weighted accordingly. The degrees of over or under-weighting are determined by relative economic prospects as measured by the outlook for GNP, inflation and interest rates of each country and their impact on currency movements. By combining a value approach to individual stock selection with asset allocation by country, the firm seeks to achieve consistent performance relative to international equity indexes. MLAM combines top-down and bottom-up analysis and uses proprietary models as part of their research process. Their funds are team-managed.

MSIM’s investment strategies span the risk/return spectrum across geographies, investment styles and asset classes, including equity, fixed income, alternatives and private markets. When considering their clients’ unique investment profiles, the firm applies a holistic approach, with a goal of incorporating the different factors affecting investors’ investment decisions. The firm combines top-down country allocation with bottom-up stock selection and disciplined risk management.
