Philosophy

Our Way of Thinking

Rigorous research and insight is at the center of Columbia Management’s philosophy. We view portfolios as more than just a collection of our best ideas – judgment and the construction of each portfolio are key.

Supporting this philosophy, our research:

  •  Takes a disciplined approach, identifying the risks, to pursue consistent returns
  •  Interprets the latest economic and market trends
  •  Provides recognized, thought leadership

We Believe in Accountability

Accountability drives our performance. In our merit-based culture, portfolio manager compensation is linked to client satisfaction where a portion of performance is quantified. Emphasizing consistent long-term performance, no incentives are tied to wide, short-term growth.

Our investment process follows
  a simple philosophy

We do not tell portfolio managers
   what to do -- we ensure they do
   what they say.
