What differentiates Polen Capital’s approach to Credit? Listen to portfolio managers from our Credit Team explain how Polen’s approach to risk and our commitment to active management gives us a significant yield advantage versus the market.
Maintaining the integrity of our investment process is paramount. We have designed our operating model to keep our investment professionals solely focused on delivering investment results.
Our Approach to Fundamental Investing is Sustainable Investing
First and foremost, we aim to invest in businesses that we believe are positioned to deliver unique value to stakeholders today and in the future. In our analysis, we focus on business issues we believe to be material to long-term stakeholder interests.
- We focus on a company’s value proposition and competitive advantages and objectively assess the value of the company through key stakeholders’ eyes.
- We evaluate the initiatives companies are undertaking to amplify the value and mitigate the risks their stakeholders see and to strengthen their competitive advantages over time.
- We integrate material business issues into our comprehensive bottom-up, fundamental research and assessment of risks and opportunities, taking a long-term view consistent with our philosophy.
