BAEP’s investment process is focused on a very extensive program of company meetings and other industry contact. The process is designed to derive proprietary insights, with differentiated views on the future prospects of potential investments. The investment process follows five key stages: initial quality screen, idea generation, stock picking, portfolio construction and ongoing portfolio optimization. BAEP’s investment style is core quality. The firm’s team targets high quality companies with strong growth prospects as they believe that these types of companies offer the best long-term returns, in particular through the growth in shareholder value over time, and with lower risk.

INGIM-AU is a long-term investment manager which believes that within a market the performances of each asset class are linked to the progression of the economic cycle. They aim to take advantage of asset class trends through active portfolio management. The firm invests in Australian and global equity, real estate-related securities, fixed-income and cash. Their multi-sector and global equity funds have actively managed exposure to foreign currency. Their in-house research informs investment decisions and is a composite of proprietary quantitative models and internal fundamental analysis complemented by third-party inputs. INGIM-AU's investment process starts with a mid-term macroeconomic view which determines asset allocation. Equity investments follow a growth-oriented approach and proceed from a bottom-up stock selection process focused on earnings momentum. Fixed-income investments follow a top-down approach focused on relative value to the market and the evolution of the economic cycle.
