PREMIS Capital Partners focuses exclusively on managing global, international and emerging market equity mandates for institutional clients. The firm employs an investment approach that is based on fundamental bottom-up research. They offer the following investment strategies: International Growth Equity, International Value Equity, International Core Equity, Emerging Markets Value ADR Equity, Focused International Growth Equity, Focused International Value Equity, Focused International Equity and Latin America Equity. PREMIS does not offer advice or investment management services for fixed income securities, including bonds and notes, derivative instruments or commodities, although they may use derivatives (currency forwards) to a limited extent in their focused strategies.

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.
