OIM believes that investment returns depend on market dynamics, not on a particular investment style such as value or growth. The firm aims to deliver superior performance in a range of different market environments, constructing portfolios with reference to the sectors in the global equity market. This approach enables them to capture the global themes that are driving market returns. OIM utilizes a top-down approach for their research methodology, focusing on economic indicators and valuation techniques. Thematic factors are analyzed to identify outperformance of an industry, region or stock with particular focus on industry/regional restructuring, long-term capital investment trends, demographics and social or technological developments. Additionally, the firm considers factors that affect the growth prospects of a company such as return on invested capital, free cash flow generation and enterprise value. Very large portfolios or those with very specific investment objectives are managed on a segregated basis while smaller and medium-sized portfolios are invested through the firm's pooled funds. OIM's partnership with Oppenheim Asset Management provides them with access to European and global research resources.
