Fisher Investments starts with a top-down investing process and the belief that the most important investing decision is your asset allocation—the mix of equities, fixed income, cash and other securities in your portfolio. To determine a personalized asset allocation and portfolio strategy consistent with your goals and objectives, your initial and ongoing contacts will speak with you in detail to understand your complete financial picture.
