NIM is a thematic, team-oriented manager which conducts in-house research to identify themes and trends that influence, or are likely to influence, economies or stock markets globally. The firm focuses their research on the areas they believe are most likely to yield the best performing securities. Portfolio managers construct equity and fixed-income model portfolios in teams. For equity portfolios, the most important aspect of portfolio construction is stock selection as bottom-up decisions drive, to a large extent, a portfolio’s allocation to countries, sectors, and currencies. Their fixed income portfolios utilize both their top-down view of the world’s bond and currency markets and bottom-up investment selection process.
