Principles Senior Investment Professionals News & Commentary Quarterly Letter Investing with Harris Associates Employment Opportunities Harris Associates L.P. was founded in 1976 by dedicated investment professionals who believed that delivering successful investment results for clients requires a consistent investment philosophy, a commitment to superior investment research, and a high level of customer service. As our roster of clients has grown over the years, these basic beliefs remain unchanged. Harris Associates L.P. had $59 billion in total assets under management as of March 31, 2008. Value Investing We are value investors. In constructing portfolios for our clients, we seek out companies that we believe are trading in the market at significant discounts to their underlying value. These businesses must offer significant profit potential and be run by managers who think and act as owners. We frame the investment process as owning a piece of a business for the long term. Research We believe in the importance of intensive, fundamental research. We do not rely on Wall Street, and we think independently. Our experienced research analysts evaluate each company on the basis of its fundamental characteristics. Our research process is based on a disciplined quantitative and qualitative screening process. Client Service Just as investment performance is important, so too is the care and attention each client receives. We recognize that each of our clients has unique goals and needs; therefore, portfolios are separately crafted to meet those objectives. We are as proud of our client service as we are of our outstanding long-term investment results. Form ADV, Part II (Viewable through Adobe PDF Format.) Harris is an indirect subsidiary of Natixis Global Asset Management, L.P. (formerly IXIS Asset Management US Group L.P.). Harris remains autonomous retaining full control of investment decisions, investment philosophy, and day-to-day operations. We believe the association with Natixis provides the firm with additional resources for the distribution of our separate account and mutual fund businesses. Our relationship with Natixis continues to motivate our professionals to provide a high level of service and investment performance for our clients. |
