In our research, we draw on as many different perspectives as possible from investment banks and independent research services, third-party managers and our clients, many of whom are leaders in their industries. In addition, we have developed our own in-house econometric models to perform detailed analysis. These models combine a broad range of economic and market data into simple indicators which inform our investment decisions. 

For third-party managers, our research includes meeting them face-to-face and testing the rigour of their investment processes. To corroborate this qualitative assessment, we use quantitative data on past performance from external sources, such as Lipper and Bloomberg.
