Investment Process

Highstreet’s investment process is highly quantitative, meaning we ensure all investment decisions are made using numerical analysis as our guide. All portfolios are managed by teams rather than individuals, resulting in objective decision making. Highstreet’s governance process for investing ensures that all decisions are well-supported and well-documented.

Highstreet’s well-defined investment process includes a strict sell discipline. Experience has shown that a consistently applied sell discipline is crucial to long-term investment success. Highstreet will review a stock for sale if its G+R profile deteriorates.
