THE CAPITAL SYSTEM
A distinctive investment approach
The Capital SystemTM combines independent high-conviction decision-making with the diversity that comes from multiple perspectives. It is designed to provide continuity and help investors pursue long-term investment success.
Each portfolio has multiple managers instead of one, with portfolios divided into segments to combine experienced managers’ best ideas in one portfolio. This creates the potential for superior long-term results while easing key-person risk and investment capacity concerns.
For illustrative purposes only.
We construct portfolio manager teams on a combination of quantitative and qualitative factors. This helps teams meet portfolio objectives through complementary investment styles, which makes each portfolio style-agnostic.
Analysts have the opportunity to invest in their highest conviction ideas through the Research Portfolio, which is managed by a group of investment analysts, providing years of investing experience before they become portfolio managers.
For illustrative purposes only.

Compensation paid to our investment professionals is heavily influenced by results over one-, three-, five- and eight-year periods, with increasing weight placed on each succeeding measurement period to encourage a long-term investment approach. Size and number of portfolio segments do not reflect actual asset allocations.
Portfolio managers’ compensation emphasizes results over longer periods with amounts heavily influenced by results over one-, three-, five- and eight-year periods. Increasing weight is placed on each succeeding measurement period to encourage a long-term investment approach.
