What is the investment philosophy of Fisher Investments?

Fisher Investments is continually committed to developing new technologies to understand capital markets. It has pioneered numerous financial innovations over the past 20+ years, many of which have become core concepts used in the financial services industry today. Many investment firms have one particular style of investing which they adhere to at all times. Fisher Investments fundamentally believes no investing style is permanently superior, but instead understands that styles and philosophies cycle in and out of favour over time. As a result, Fisher Investments uses a variety of strategies in dynamically managing clients' assets over time. Back to top

How is Fisher Investments different from other investment firms?

Many investment firms are dedicated to one specific style of investing, using a static approach to style and asset allocation. As a result, these managers tend to do very well when their style is in favour and poorly when their style falls out of favour. Over time this can result in mediocre returns. Fisher Investments believes in utilising a variable approach in determining asset and style allocation. Our investment firm strives to add value through active management by identifying information not widely known (or interpreting widely known information correctly and differently from other market participants) and then capitalising on those opportunities. Fisher Investments has a history of making these active decisions for its clients. Back to top
