CGTC employs a long-term investment approach that is based on rigorous fundamental research. The firm uses a system of multiple portfolio managers in managing most separate account and fund assets. Under this approach, the portfolio of an account or fund is divided into segments managed by individual managers who decide how their respective segments will be invested. In addition, investment analysts may make investment decisions with respect to a portion of the portfolio. The firm offers equity, fixed-income, balanced, and other customized investment strategies based on the investment objectives of CGTC clients. CGTC's equity strategies include: US Equity, International Equity, Global Equity, All Country World Equity, International All Countries Equity, and Emerging Markets Equity. The firm's fixed-income strategies include: US Core Fixed-Income, Long Duration Government, Long Duration Credit, US High-Yield, International Fixed-Income, Global Fixed-Income, Global High-Income Opportunities, and Emerging Markets Debt. CGTC's balanced and total opportunities strategies include: US Balanced, Global Balanced, Absolute Income Grower, World Dividend Growers, and Emerging Markets Total Opportunities.
