Top-Down Process

Fisher Investments' top-down process begins with a focus on macro decisions at the country and sector/industry level, which can have a disproportionate impact on returns. Fisher Investments believes its process is uniquely suited for managing portfolios, in contrast with more "bottom-up" approaches of many competitors who may leave key sector or country decisions as passive residuals. By actively managing these crucial higher-level decisions, Fisher Investments feels its top-down process allows it to actively exploit a greater opportunity set for generating out-performance than other approaches.

Security Selection Process

Fisher Investments' security selection is specifically designed to leverage its top-down process, directly applying high-level themes from its macro analysis in its security analysis and selection.

Past performance neither guarantees nor reliably indicates future performance. The value of investments and the income from them will fluctuate with world financial markets and international currency exchange rates.
