Description of Manning And Napier
Manning & Napier, Inc. is an independent investment management firm that
provides a broad range of investment solutions through separately managed accounts,
mutual funds, and collective investment trust funds, as well as a variety of
consultative services that complement its investment process. Founded in 1970,
we offer equity, fixed income and alternative strategies, as well as a range
of blended asset portfolios, such as life cycle funds. Headquartered in Fairport,
New York, we serve a diversified client base of high net worth individuals and
institutions, including 401(k) plans, pension plans, Taft-Hartley plans ("Taft-Hartley"),
endowments and foundations.
Since our inception, we have taken the view that an active, team-based approach
to portfolio management is the best way to manage risk for clients as market
conditions change. Across our variety of equity, fixed income and blended asset
portfolios, our goal is to provide competitive absolute returns over full market
cycles. We employ disciplined processes that seek to avoid areas of speculation
by focusing on investments with strong fundamentals at reasonable prices or
stable fundamentals at attractive prices. To ensure a focus on absolute returns,
we employ a compensation structure for our research team that rewards positive
and above benchmark results and penalizes negative and below benchmark results.
This active, absolute-returns based approach requires flexibility to invest
where opportunities are and avoid speculation, regardless of the allocations
within a comparative benchmark.
Initially, this approach helped us build a client base of high net worth individuals,
small business owners and middle market institutions, and we maintain these
relationships in many targeted geographic regions. This foundation allowed us
to expand our business to serve the needs of larger institutions, investment
consultants and other intermediaries.
