Investment capabilities
Equities
We offer global, regional and country specific strategies, investing across the market cap spectrum and with various risk and return objectives.
Meeting companies and conducting fundamental research lie at the heart of our equity approach. We aim to invest in companies that can create sustainable long-term value and believe that by engaging with companies we can gain a thorough understanding of their business models, company finances, competitive pressures and drivers of corporate profits.
Face-to-face meetings also provide an opportunity to question management teams on their future plans and strategies. Combining this bottom-up analysis with thematic insights into markets helps us to build portfolios that can deliver consistent, long-term outperformance.
Why Columbia Threadneedle Investments for Equities?

We have more than 450 investment professionals based around the world, sharing global perspectives across all major asset classes and markets. It is that expertise and our culture of collaboration as well as a focus on research intensity that has allowed us to maintain strong performance over the long term.
