SSR combines bottom-up stock selection with quantitative risk controls. The Asset Allocation committee formulates the asset allocation strategy based upon the relative attractiveness, variability and correlation between the equity and fixed income markets. The committee reviews a wide range of factors that include forecasts of corporate earnings, liquidity and an assessment of macroeconomic trends. The committee formally reviews allocation targets on a monthly basis. For active equity management they combine bottom-up stock selection based on comprehensive fundamental research with explicit sector weighting decisions and quantitative risk management. Teams manage portfolios. SSR believes that fixed income security prices respond to economic fundamentals in predictable but not perfectly efficient ways.
