Manning & Napier Group, LLC Investing Philosophy
For more than 50 years, the same proprietary bottom-up driven investment process has been used to build diversified portfolios of individual securities. Manning & Napier's equity analysts first search the global investment universe using both bottom-up (company-specific) and top-down (macro) research to reduce the initial universe to a workable list of potential portfolio candidates.
Next, companies are evaluated using fundamental analysis to generate a formal list of portfolio candidates based on three selection strategies - Strategic Profile, Hurdle Rate, and Bankable Deal. If a company is a strategy fit, strict pricing disciplines are used to establish buy and sell targets based on fair market value.
Within this process, the company is subjected to peer review within the recommending analyst's sector group. As part of this peer review, every analyst in the sector group has a financial stake in the stock - not just the recommending analyst. When the security is formally recommended, it is presented to the Global Core Team, which determines whether to accept the security recommendation, put it on the “firedrill” list, or reject it. Each holding is continuously monitored based on the firm's strategy fit and valuation criteria, and the portfolio's overall risk exposures are regularly evaluated by the team.
