Zweig Advisers LLC Zweig Advisers LLC Investment ManagersFinance Zweig Advisers' employs a GARP equity investment approach. The firm's primary investment approach focuses on a tactical asset allocation process that seeks to participate in rising markets and limit losses during major declines. They rely on proprietary research to gradually adjust market exposure. They adjust exposure to stocks, bonds and cash in an effort to best position conservative shareholders for long-term growth. Zweig invests their funds in issuers having capitalizations within the range of companies included in the Russell 1000 Index; however, the funds may invest in mid- and small-cap issuers as well. Security selection begins with a top-down approach and econometric analysis of each sector. Each sector is then analyzed at the industry level. Fundamental analysis is conducted within the industries to identify securities that the portfolio managers believe offer superior return opportunity. When managing certain other accounts, Zweig may invest in affiliated and unaffiliated open end mutual funds, unaffiliated ETFs, other equity securities and high quality short-term securities. Though not limited by sector, Zweig tends to invest in the stocks of US large-cap companies in the electronic technology, energy minerals, non-energy minerals, retail, industrial services, finance, healthcare technology and energy minerals sectors. The firm maintains a medium turnover rate.	Corporate Officer/Principal	1994-11-30
