GE Asset Management's (GEAM) core investment strategies include US equities, international equities, fixed-income, real estate and private equity. The firm follows a disciplined, fundamental, bottom-up approach to investing in US equities. Their US equity investment approach involves rigorous analyses of financial data, including industry, sector and company information, as well as qualitative assessments of management and their ability to execute business plans. Generally, GEAM invests in companies that are industry leaders with high quality earnings and a history of creating shareholder value. GEAM's international equities approach includes a variety of strategies such as International Equity, Global Equity and Emerging Markets Equity, as well as regional and country specific mandates for Canada, Europe, Euroland, China and India. All strategies are driven by a bottom-up, fundamental research process. GEAM's fixed-income team manages a variety of investment styles and strategies that span the yield curve and credit quality universe. The firm manages a variety of products designed to meet various customer risk/return parameters. GEAM's fixed-income team follows a relative value approach, emphasizing a fundamental, bottom-up process with the objective of enhancing returns while limiting volatility. The firm's International Private Equity team invests in companies domiciled and doing a substantial portion of their business outside of the US. They focus primarily on corporate buyouts and growth-equity investments, but they also selectively consider later-stage venture capital investments. GEAM considers investment opportunities across a broad range of industrial sectors and geographic areas and pursues potential investment opportunities in both developed and emerging markets.
