Fisher Investments’ philosophy is based on Ken Fisher’s fundamental belief in capitalism and how free markets function. Fisher Investments believes supply and demand are the sole determinants of securities pricing and capital markets are relatively efficient discounters of widely known information. Based on these beliefs, in order to add value, a manager must seek out information that is not widely known, or interpret widely known information uniquely. Fisher Investments operates on these core principles.
In the early 1980s, Ken Fisher pioneered the use of the price-to-sales ratio and detailed its relevance as a tool for financial investment analysis. Fisher Investments used this tool to help manage small capitalization portfolios for institutional investors. In the early 1990s, Fisher Investments’ research contributed to the recognition of distinct investment styles and cycles. These advancements became the foundation for a series of strategies for institutional clients. In the late 1990s, Fisher Investments began focusing on the emerging field of behavioral finance to understand how investors use financial tools and make investment decisions, which has led to practical applications in Fisher Investments' portfolio management process.
For over 45 years, Fisher Investments has helped individuals, families, businesses and institutions all over the world achieve their long-term financial goals. Today, Fisher Investments and its affiliates operate in 16 offices and serve over 170,000 clients globally.*
