U.S. Growth Strategies


The U.S. growth investment team focuses on high-quality, traditional growth companies with a focus on risk control and a long-term perspective.  The team emphasizes fundamental, bottom-up research to discover small- and mid-cap companies that have better growth prospects and capital structures than peers.  The primary investment goal is to provide consistent, superior-to-market returns at a risk posture less than the benchmark.
