RAM is an active, team-based manager which believes that their fund managers should manage with conviction and focus on outperformance. The firm's teams are organized as a series of boutiques, both in their core business and their joint ventures. There are separate teams for each of their core business areas, each led by a Chief Investment Officer. Teams devise the strategy and process which best suits their particular asset class at any given time. The firm's team members cover different sectors within each asset class, allowing individuals to become specialists. The roles of investment manager and analyst are combined, allowing them to fully understand the stocks in which they invest. Information is shared among teams, through RAM's mentoring system, regular meetings and global sector analysis. Each asset class has its own distinct investment approach. Risk controls are integral to the firm's investment process. Their Risk Management team works closely with the investment team to ensure that managers are aware of the risk they are taking when they move overweight or underweight in any particular stock, sector or country. In addition, the executive board meets heads of desks each month to review fund performance. The firm's buddy investment manager provides additional risk control by questioning existing views and their compliance team also monitors and supervises the investment team.
