Amundi US selects investments from a wide range of asset classes and employs a variety of styles in managing client assets. Regarding equity securities, the firm employs fundamental and quantitative research to their portfolio management approach. With respect to fixed income securities, their investment professionals consistently apply well established means of identifying potentially rewarding securities. Whether applying top-down analysis that leads to selection of government bonds, or the bottom-up approach that ends with corporate bonds being selected, the investment management team's goal is portfolio construction that matches product objectives and supports investors’ goals.

SSR combines bottom-up stock selection with quantitative risk controls. The Asset Allocation committee formulates the asset allocation strategy based upon the relative attractiveness, variability and correlation between the equity and fixed income markets. The committee reviews a wide range of factors that include forecasts of corporate earnings, liquidity and an assessment of macroeconomic trends. The committee formally reviews allocation targets on a monthly basis. For active equity management they combine bottom-up stock selection based on comprehensive fundamental research with explicit sector weighting decisions and quantitative risk management. Teams manage portfolios. SSR believes that fixed income security prices respond to economic fundamentals in predictable but not perfectly efficient ways. They seek to identify opportunities created by these inefficiencies through fundamental research supported by quantitative risk controls.
