Lazard AM Deutschland is an active manager which constructs portfolios that invest across a wide range of global, regional and country-specific strategies - both traditional and alternative - in listed equity and fixed income. Their Frankfurt-based portfolio managers, in conjunction with the group's global network, conduct fundamental research on securities from a large number of industries and countries. The firm follows a bottom-up investment approach. They have several teams of analysts, each specialized by asset class and industry, who conduct fundamental quantitative and qualitative research upon which portfolio managers base their investment decisions. Analysts complement their research by meeting the management of investees and using third-party research and databases. Portfolios are managed against benchmarks and investment decisions are team-based.
