Investment Philosophy & Process

Our Process

At Alger, we believe companies undergoing Positive Dynamic Change offer the best investment opportunities for our clients.  Our competitive edge is identifying these companies and capitalizing on the change before it is recognized in the market.  

We embrace change found in "traditional" growth companies as well as in companies experiencing what we call a "growth renaissance".

Our Investment Process

Research has been the cornerstone of our investment process for over 50 years and we rely on our talented research professionals to execute our investment process with utmost discipline and precision. Our original, fundamental, bottom-up research process is designed to get the analysts'​ best ideas into the portfolio. We conduct thorough, original, research, taking into account both quantitative and qualitative data.

NEW IDEAS Analysts identify companies experiencing positive dynamic change in their sectors and regions to generate potential investment ideas
ANALYSIS Analysts perform in-depth company analysis to develop a differentiated view supported by detailed financial models and stress-tested for a range of potential outcomes
DIALOGUE Analysts present their ideas to portfolio managers and have their investment thesis and assumptions challenged
CONSTRUCTION Portfolio managers construct portfolios of the highest conviction ideas while managing risk
MONITORING Risks are collaboratively managed by analysts, portfolio managers, the Director of Quantitative and Risk Management, and compliance
