BMO-IM manages a variety of fixed-income and dividend-yielding equities. The firm's investment strategy focuses on asset allocation, but they also believe that substantial value is created by making disciplined, research-driven tactical asset allocation adjustments to capture market opportunities as they arise. BMO-IM employs a disciplined, multi-step process to create customized portfolios for each client. The firm defines the client's investment objectives, establishes the client's strategic asset allocation strategy, and implements tactical asset allocation, portfolio construction, and portfolio management.

MCC seeks to preserve and grow the wealth of their clients while maintaining diversification. The firm uses a combination of qualitative fundamental research and quantitative screening methods to identify companies they would choose to invest in for their various equity strategies: GARP, Consistent Growth, Large Value, and Focused Opportunity. They tend to structure intermediate duration fixed income portfolios for clients.

Bank holding company

BR employs an approach to managing client portfolios that they believe is increasingly unique in the investment counsel industry. As to security selection, they believe that modest expectations yield modest results. When searching for candidates for inclusion in equity portfolios, the firm feels that only the exceptional stock deserves attention. 'Lowering the bar' to include the merely above average invariably dilutes portfolio performance and dissipates the firm's research efforts. Normally, BR has a bias toward companies showing strong and sustainable growth for company-specific reasons. They avoid selling stocks merely because they have risen in price. The firm looks at historical characteristics of a stock, such as minimum multiples of sales, earnings, cash flows, dividends or book values. When a company's financial record is insufficient to establish these risk parameters, the firm frequently turns to alternative investment vehicles that allow for substantial appreciation but mitigate the possibility of significant loss, namely, convertible securities. In constructing portfolios, BR believes that diversification typically reflects a desire to avoid important decisions, not a true desire to reduce risk. They only manage separate portfolios and do not commingle clients' assets for the purpose of reducing costs and achieving economies of scale. Because BR does not begin with a market index in mind when building and managing portfolios, the firm's emphasis is on outperforming these indexes over years, not weeks or months.
