PGIM relies on quantitative and qualitative factors when providing portfolio-level investment advice to a client. The firm focuses on consistent performance, rigorous risk management and long-term client relationships.

DGHM employs a fundamental, value-driven investment approach that focuses specifically on domestic equity across the market capitalization spectrum. The firm is committed to value creation over the long-term, strives for consistent alpha generation, while yielding superior risk-adjusted results across the firm’s product line. They invest with a multi-year investment horizon rather than focusing on the month- or quarter-end data. DGHM will sell a stock if their multi-factor model indicated that an acceptable trade-off of valuation and profitability no longer exists, if the company's fundamentals are deteriorating or if the stock consistently underperforms its peer group. The team of Sector Specialists is empowered to make their final stock selection decisions.

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.
