TCIM concentrates on individual companies rather than sectors or industries, for their equity accounts. They look for stocks that it believes are attractively priced based on an analysis of the company’s prospects for growth in earnings, cash flow, revenues and other relevant measures. In general, the firm focuses on companies with shareholder-oriented management dedicated to creating shareholder value. For the fixed income accounts, TCIM concentrates on security selection, sector allocation, yield-curve positioning, and duration management.

MLAM's worldwide approach to equity investing uses a philosophy of identifying relative value among individual stocks and stock markets by focusing primarily on two variables: reinvestment rate and the price-to-book value ratio. There are seven additional screens employed to further refine the process. The factors used to identify value include price-to-cash flow, price-to-earnings ratios, past and future earnings growth and dividend payouts. For asset allocation, a country whose market valuation measurements seem consistently above or below world averages or its own historical averages are over or under-weighted accordingly. The degrees of over or under-weighting are determined by relative economic prospects as measured by the outlook for GNP, inflation and interest rates of each country and their impact on currency movements. By combining a value approach to individual stock selection with asset allocation by country, the firm seeks to achieve consistent performance relative to international equity indexes. MLAM combines top-down and bottom-up analysis and uses proprietary models as part of their research process. Their funds are team-managed.
