NH-Amundi uses a research-based team approach to seek consistency in investment strategy. The firm's equity investment process begins with the investment committee allocating sectors, picking stocks and developing the risk allocation model and model portfolio. Portfolio managers then construct portfolios based on client needs and perform risk monitoring of the actual portfolios. Finally, the investment/risk management team evaluates portfolio and benchmark performance. Fixed-income investments follow a combined top-down and bottom-up approach which begins as the investment committee performs strategic analysis using macroeconomic data.

Mirae Asset performs bottom-up research, aiming to identify the sustainable competitiveness of companies (a commanding market share, comparative advantages to competitors, a differentiated business model and high levels of transparency and corporate governance). They assess investment risk with expected return and monitor valuations, liquidity and corporate governance for their potential to inflict damage on long-term competitiveness. The firm constructs portfolios following a team-based approach to decision making, with extensive discussion and a firm commitment to adhere to their investment principles and process.
