Fisher Investments Australia® outsources portfolio management to our US-based parent company, Fisher Investments. Fisher Investments’ Investment Policy Committee (IPC)—with support from Fisher Investments’ in-house Research Department—collaboratively makes all strategic investment decisions affecting client portfolios.
Though the IPC functions as a team, each member focuses on particular segments of Fisher Investments’ investment strategy. Whilst all five committee members conduct macroeconomic, political and sentiment analysis in support of the firm’s strategies, Ken Fisher (Founder & Co-Chief Investment Officer) leads these efforts. Jeff Silk (Vice Chairman & Co-Chief Investment Officer), Bill Glaser (Executive Vice President of Portfolio Management & Co-Chief Investment Officer), Aaron Anderson (Senior Vice President of Research) and Michael Hanson (Senior Vice President of Research) are primarily responsible for the selection of securities within the firm’s strategies, overseeing Fisher Investments’ in-house research efforts, portfolio engineering and implementation, and the firm’s technological research resources.
