Attracting and Retaining Key Professionals
A unique method of portfolio management, the Multiple Portfolio Manager System, blends teamwork with individual accountability and throughout its history has provided Capital Guardian with a sustainable method of achieving investment objectives. Each manager manages a portion of fund assets as if it were the entire portfolio. Research analysts may also manage a portion of the fund's assets, investing in companies in the industries they follow. Portfolio managers and analysts share insights, opinions and outlooks. But in the end, each individual makes his or her own investment decisions based on his or her strongest convictions. This flexible process has helped temper volatility, provided continuity in portfolio management and enhanced long-term results.
