Key Developments
- In the 1970s, Ken Fisher’s research helped popularise the Price-to-Sales Ratio, a key valuation tool now widely used in modern finance. This tool was instrumental in guiding how we managed small-cap value portfolios for our institutional clients.
- In the mid-1980s, Fisher Investments also helped define six major investment styles, which became the foundation for a range of diversified strategies such as Global Total Return, US Total Return, and Foreign Equity.
Ongoing Research
We have dedicated significant resources to the field of behavioural finance to better understand financial tools and how investors use them. Our research has led us to develop practical applications of behavioural finance in our portfolio management process.
Our research has been showcased in numerous financial journals, including the Financial Analysts Journal and The Journal of Portfolio Management. In 1984, Ken began writing Forbes’ “Portfolio Strategy” column, which ran monthly for 32 1/2 years until 31/12/2016, making Ken the longest continuously running columnist in the magazine’s history.
He writes monthly, native language columns in major media organs around the world, including Singapore’s The Business Times; the New York Post in the United States; The Daily Telegraph in the United Kingdom; Denmark’s leading business newspaper, Børsen; Taiwan’s Business Weekly; Caixin—often called the “Bloomberg of China”; Israel’s Calcalist; South Korea’s largest business paper, Chosun Weekly Biz; Japan’s Diamond Weekly; Spain’s largest business website and newspaper, elEconomista; Saudi Arabia’s Al Eqtisadiah; Mexico’s El Financiero; Germany’s Focus Money; Canada’s most read newspaper, The Globe and Mail; Switzerland’s leading business paper, Handelszeitung; the Hong Kong Economic Journal; Argentina’s Infobae; Ireland’s Irish Independent; Belgium’s La Libre; the United Arab Emirates’ The National; France’s L’Opinion; Sweden’s Privata Affärer; Italy’s third-largest newspaper and number one business paper, Il Sole 24 Ore; the Netherlands’ largest newspaper, De Telegraaf; and Austria’s Trend. In total, his 25 bespoke columns span more countries and more languages in more total reach than any other, non-syndicated columnist of any type ever.
Ken has also written 11 books, including 4 New York Times bestsellers. His credits span a multitude of professional and scholarly journals. He is a recipient of the Bernstein Fabozzi/Jacobs Levy Award for outstanding research in the Journal of Portfolio Management.
