Nicholas-Applegate Capital Management employs a forward-thinking, change-focused investment philosophy to create domestic and international portfolios across fundamental and systematic equity, income and growth strategies. The firm's investment approach seeks to identify points of inflection that could lead to strong price appreciation and to invest in a timely manner to maximize return potential. The firm's range of investment strategies include domestic, global, international and specialty portfolios. Each portfolio follows one of two approaches: traditional or model-driven (systematic). Nicholas-Applegate tends to invest in the stocks of companies in the electronic technology, health technology, technology services, consumer non-durables and finance sectors. The firm invests globally, across all market-caps. Nicholas-Applegate maintains a medium turnover rate.

Avalon employs a fundamental, long-term approach in evaluating securities, seeks a return reflective of the underlying asset class for each account, and aims to maintain lower volatility. The firm will raise cash reserves during periods of unusual market risk, but generally seeks to maintain a fully invested posture over a typical market cycle. Securities selected are generally expected to be held to be held for long-term capital gains, with the goal of providing higher after-tax returns.
