How Our Flexible Investment Approach Benefits Clients

FISHER INVESTMENTS ®

Upbeat music plays.

A man dressed in a navy blue suit appears. A fly-out in the lower right corner identifies him as Bill Glaser, Executive Vice President, Portfolio Management.

The fly-out disappears. The camera remains focused on Bill Glaser, occasionally changing angle.

Bill Glaser: Fundamentally, we don't believe that any one category or style of the market is inherently better than another. So what we look to do is rotate the portfolio and invest in categories that we believe on a forward looking basis will do best.

Bill Glaser continues discussing our investment approach

Bill Glaser (continued): And a lot of that is predicated to our belief on where we're at in the market cycle. So we look to utilize that flexibility, but also do so on a global basis, looking for global opportunities.

The process is also top down in nature in the sense that unlike many managers in the industry, which tend to be more bottom up oriented, they tend to be the stock pickers. They're trying to find that best stock out there, the best performing stock. That’s not what we're doing at Fisher Investments. And in fact, at Fisher Investments, we're not trying to find that needle in the haystack--we’re trying to find the haystacks with the most needles. And we feel like if we can do that, and we can identify the categories of the market that we think will do best, well that goes a long way in maximizing the likelihood that we then get our stock selection part of the process correct.
