Sound investing doesn’t require anyone to be a philosopher or a
genius, but we believe that it sometimes helps to think beyond
boundaries. Market history teaches that taking a broader perspective
can often open up investment opportunities.
When global markets are viewed relative to one another, it provides a mechanism to
potentially enhance return by enabling a portfolio management team to focus on markets
that they believe offer the greatest opportunity. Taking a broader investment perspective

investment experience, with 14 years at our firm. Our investment professionals leverage
what they have learned in an effort to deliver value to investors.
