Seafarer employs three distinct research capabilities to select securities for clients’ portfolios according to their investment objectives.
Research Capability | Characteristics of Holdings | |
---|---|---|
Balanced | Moderately underappreciated growth | Typically moderately elevated current yield |
Growth | Higher growth potential | Typically lower current yield; sometimes no yield (dividend policy not yet established) |
Value | Lower growth potential | Typically higher current yield; sometimes no yield (dividends canceled under financial stress) |
For each research capability, a Lead Portfolio Manager directs the research queue and bears responsibility for security selection and portfolio construction decisions.
Before any security is admitted to a client portfolio, the entire investment team undertakes a critical review of the prospective holding in a group presentation and discussion.
