1970s: Ken Fisher’s theoretical work in the 1970s pioneered the use of the Price-to-Sales Ratio and detailed its relevance as a tool for investment analysis. This tool was used to help manage small cap value portfolios for Fisher Investments’ institutional investors.
1979: Ken Fisher founded Fisher Investments Australia®’s parent company, Fisher Investments, in the United States and began managing discretionary assets with a fundamental belief in capitalism and free capital markets. His investment philosophy was rooted in the simple notion that supply and demand are the sole determinants of securities pricing and capital markets are relatively efficient discounters of all widely known information. Thus, to add value through active management, one must identify information not widely known or interpret widely known information differently—and more accurately—than other market participants.
Mid-1980s: Fisher Investments contributed to the recognition of distinct investment styles and used these advancements as the foundation for a new series of broad mandate strategies, including Global Total Return, US Total Return and Foreign Equity.
Mid-1990s: Fisher Investments began offering separate portfolio management directly to US high net worth individuals through its Private Client Group.

2007: Fisher Investments entered into a joint venture partnership with Grüner Fisher Investments GmbH (now a wholly-owned subsidiary), which provides portfolio management services to investors in Germany.

2013: Fisher Investments Australasia Pty Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fisher Investments, was formed to offer its services to institutional wholesale investors in Australia. Fisher Investments Australia® is a trademark of Fisher Investments Australasia Pty Ltd.
