Loomis Sayles bases their overall investment approach on the premise that their disciplined, research-based investment strategies can identify market inefficiencies that can lead to consistent outperformance of benchmarks. The firm's fixed-income research team seeks to identify attractive securities and assign ratings to various issues. Their equity investment approach is based on their belief that equity markets are inefficient. Loomis Sayles employs an intensive bottom-up investment analysis with the goal of delivering superior risk adjusted performance.

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.

BP's equity products share a value oriented, risk averse investment philosophy. Their fixed-income products seek to build in a yield premium versus the appropriate benchmark through bottom-up security selection and a focus on the corporate and mortgage sectors of the bond market. They use a bottom-up investment process to identify portfolio candidates. The process is driven by internal fundamental research streamlined by quantitative screening. Quantitative screening identifies companies within the universe that are attractively valued and demonstrate a quantifiable measure of business momentum. Fundamental research involves a detailed analysis of the business dynamics supporting a portfolio candidate's current value and prospects for future growth. Beyond demonstrating value and momentum criteria identified in the screening results, portfolio candidates must also exhibit strong business fundamentals and improving business trends as determined through fundamental research. BP's fixed-income portfolio construction process focuses on achieving a yield advantage through their individual security selection process while carefully avoiding interest rate risk. They focus on the corporate and mortgage sectors that they believe offer the best risk-adjusted yield opportunities.
