For our research, we draw on as many different perspectives as possible: analysis provided by various investment banks and independent research services; conversations with third-party managers; and our clients, many of whom are leaders in their particular industries. In addition, we have developed our own in-house econometric models, which allow us to perform detailed analysis on the various asset classes. These models combine a broad range of data into simple indicators which we use to inform our investment decisions. 

For third-party managers, our research includes meeting them face-to-face as a part of our formal due diligence 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.
