Portfolio managers and strategists at Neuberger Berman, one of the world’s leading employee-controlled money managers, anticipate continued capital markets volatility through the second half of 2013 and into 2014 as a result of investor interpretation of the Federal Reserve’s easing strategies, concerns about economic growth prospects worldwide, and mixed signals in company fundamentals.<\/p>\n
The challenge for individual and institutional investors globally is managing the risk\/return balance against a dynamic investment environment.<\/p>\n
“As we approach 75 years in the investment management business, we are keenly aware of those challenges and take great pride in our ability to apply relevant lessons learned over multiple market cycles with modern and relevant solutions that meet client needs,” said\u00a0George Walker, chairman and CEO of Neuberger Berman. “This past year, we’ve provided value to clients with expanded investment strategies as global markets present opportunities. We’ve brought in talented professionals and moved into new regions. We also further increased employee ownership, aligning our firm with clients.”<\/p>\n
“The unprecedented involvement in the capital markets by central bankers has created a unique set of challenges to both managing risk and seeking opportunity.\u00a0 Our portfolio managers, we believe, are suited to take advantage of the volatility emanating from this environment,” said\u00a0Joseph Amato, president and chief investment officer of Neuberger Berman.<\/p>\n
To meet evolving investor needs for global exposure, income generation, lower volatility and absolute return, Neuberger Berman continues to develop its actively managed platform of global investment strategies ranging across equities, fixed income, and alternatives, all managed by high conviction and highly experienced investment professionals.\u00a0 Over the past 12 months through\u00a0June 2013, Neuberger Berman has introduced new strategies and significantly expanded its reach globally to serve individual and institutional investors with enhanced solutions, while continuing to seek superior long-term performance for clients.<\/p>\n
