We have one of the longest global and international track records of any firm presently in operation and continuously managed by the same individuals.
We believe our success is attributable to the consistent and disciplined adherence to the Polaris investment philosophy and process. At its core, the investment philosophy is dedicated to pure global value investing — time-tested over more than four decades. We seek to build value portfolios that can achieve higher than benchmark returns with below market risk. Find out more about our investment philosophy.
We have a disciplined approach to global value investing, with the flexibility to invest in companies in any country (developed or emerging), industry or market capitalization. Diversification extends to more than 15 industry groups and 15 countries. Most investments are held for three to five years, and turnover averages 30% annually.
We conduct bottom-up stock selection, which results in holdings that are considered the most undervalued in the world pursuant to our valuation criteria. In addition to financial analyses, our nine-member research team assesses industry conditions, competitive advantages, profitability, operating and financial leverage and the quality of company management.
Experience and history are hallmarks of good global investment management. The Polaris investment team has 150+ years of collective industry expertise, led by Bernie Horn who has been in investment management since the early 1980s. The other portfolio managers bring decades of experience to the table, supported by senior investment analysts with long standing at the firm. (see the biographies of our team)
Value-driven global and international equity investing is the focus of our business. Our team, from portfolio managers to analysts to relationships manager to client service, is invested in products we manage or subadvise, aligning our interests with those of our clients.
Polaris Capital has billions in assets under management, distributed across international, global and U.S portfolios.
Equity products were founded on our global investing philosophy, seeking out U.S. and non-U.S. stocks across all countries, industries and market caps. For the past 40 years, we have been steadfast in our globally-diversified strategy, with one common denominator: pinpointing potentially undervalued companies with strong fundamentals. All equity products (international and U.S.) at Polaris are a natural extension of the global multi-cap offering. Our firm is uniquely structured to manage core global and international equity pooled funds accessible to all types of investors. In addition to management of non-U.S. registered global funds and a common trust fund for U.S. pension plans, we manage and/or sub-advise a number of U.S. registered mutual funds.
