Our international equity investment philosophy is rooted in a fundamental investment approach focused on owning large, high-quality, growth-oriented companies at reasonable valuations. We believe that higher quality companies will outperform the broader market over the long-term, especially when the countries in which they do business benefit from favorable macroeconomic factors.

The international equity investment process integrates top-down comprehensive evaluation of market cycles, macroeconomic variables and geopolitical analysis with the firm’s fundamental, company-specific approach. The investment committee employs this process to identify attractive countries and economic sectors as well as high-quality companies worthy of a long-term investment allocation.
