How Our Flexible Investment Approach Benefits Clients
No single investment category is right for all time. Instead, categories often trade leadership. In this video, Executive Vice President of Portfolio Management, Bill Glaser, explains how Fisher Investments takes advantage of these regular leadership rotations.
Based on historical analysis of category leadership, Fisher Investments determines which countries, sectors and investment styles might perform best in the future given its economic forecast. As a global money manager, this ability allows Fisher Investments to identify countries that might perform well given their current economic and political climates. While many investors tend to invest mostly—or even solely—in their home country’s securities, Fisher Investments believes global investing is an ideal way to increase diversification, spread out risk and take advantage of opportunities around the world. Fisher Investments’ top-down investing approach differs from many investment managers who simply aim to pick hot stocks. Fisher Investments is not trying to find “needle in the haystack” stocks. Instead, Fisher Investments aims to find the “haystacks with the most needles” and then determine which securities are the best fit in a diversified client portfolio.

Fisher can help clients with generational wealth management simply because when clients hire us, our mindset is that they're hiring us for decades, and naturally, their lives are going to change over time. There could be a transition of wealth during that period, and we work with them, along with their tax professionals and legal professionals, to ensure that there's a smooth transition to help them meet those goals. A typical Fisher client is someone that is moving towards retirement and then ultimately into retirement. And for those clients, they need to replace the regular salary with a new source of income. And that often comes from the savings that they built up for the rest of their lives. So as an institutional global pension fund manager, this is very much in Fisher's DNA to help create that source of wealth, that source of income, to make sure it lasts for decades.
Fisher Asset Management, LLC does business under this name in Ontario and Newfoundland & Labrador. In all other provinces, Fisher Asset Management, LLC (FAM) does business as Fisher Investments.
