Summary

Former CIO Scott Minerd, who passed away in 2022, developed the approach. It’s a distinctive framework that draws on lessons from behavioral finance to decentralize decision-making among groups focused on macro research, sector research, portfolio construction, and portfolio management. Each group uses a deliberate, slowed-down process to avoid mistakes. This fund and its siblings have very strong records, including over the more than three years since Minerd’s passing.
