CR&M maintains an investment philosophy that is distinguished by four key beliefs: fundamental research underlies all investment decisions; investment decisions should not be made lightly; a long-term approach; and the firm uses a system of multiple portfolio managers in managing most account and fund assets. The firm’s investment decisions are subject to a funds or account’s objectives, policies and restrictions and the oversight of the appropriate investment-related committees of the firm and their investment divisions. They typically build portfolios for funds and accounts from the bottom-up using rigorous fundamental research to find attractive investments and manage risks.
