MSIM emphasizes the exchange of investment ideas among team members and uses intense bottom-up fundamental research to fully understand the industries and companies they invest in. As such, the investment teams draw upon the collective knowledge of portfolio managers and research analysts that have developed expertise in specific sectors, across the market cap spectrum. MSIM's portfolios use four traits to analyze future price trends. These are the lowest p/e ratio, the lowest price-to-book ratio, the lowest price-to-value (calculated by a dividend discount model) and the highest dividend yield. Other appraisal ratios (cash flow ratio, sales-to-price ratio) are also used to a lesser degree. In the investment process, quantitative conclusions about stocks are limited by the effectiveness of financial accounting statements. The firm uses their experience in interpreting financial statements when they design quantitative models. Diversification is used to neutralize the occasional incorrect valuation of a company due to misleading accounting. The portfolio management teams have ultimate responsibility for the construction of portfolios. The team structure maximizes each team member's contribution to the investment process, while ensuring that a senior investor is at all times accountable for final decisions.
