Trian Fund Management typically invests in publicly-traded equity securities with attractive business models that they believe trade significantly below intrinsic value primarily due to operating underperformance and/or under-management. The firm employs fundamental analysis, including equity valuation analysis and credit analysis.

Longview Partners is a specialist asset management company focused entirely on the management of Global Equity portfolios which seeks to consistently generate alpha through investing in a concentrated portfolio of global companies within an absolute return framework. Their bottom-up approach invests in high quality companies with strong business fundamentals and attractive cash-based valuations. The portfolio is concentrated, typically investing in 35 companies whilst maintaining a focus on diversification and the avoidance of overexposure to common business drivers. Longview Partners uses its own in-house models to conduct this analysis. Longview Partners focus on three criteria for security selection: Quality, Business Fundamentals and Valuation. A stock is sold immediately if it reaches its price target, or if a stock ceases to meet the firm’s stock selection criteria of Quality, Fundamentals or Valuation.

TGA’s investment philosophy and approach are based on three tenets: value, patience and bottom-up selection. By combining time-proven fundamental analysis with original research, the investment team searches for companies that meet their criteria of quality and valuation. When choosing equity investments for the strategies, the investment manager applies a bottom-up, value-oriented, long-term approach, focusing on the market price of a company’s securities relative to the firm’s evaluation of the company’s long-term earnings, asset value and cash flow potential. The managers then construct individual portfolios within established parameters for the mandate as well as diversification based in the research results. Portfolio managers continually review portfolios to assess sector and industry risk exposure in response to changing market conditions.
