Harding Loevner LP

Harding Loevner invests primarily in publicly-traded global equities which seeks superior returns. Their investment philosophy emphasizes long-term investments in high quality, growing businesses, and their investment approach relies on in-depth fundamental research including analysis of the competitive structure of global industries and the competitive position of individual companies. The firm undertakes in-depth fundamental company research and industry analysis to identify and value companies that exhibit four key quality-growth criteria: competitive advantage, quality management, financial strength, and sustainable growth. Portfolio managers construct each model portfolio informed by analysts’ recommendations and impact on portfolio risk. Harding Loevner builds model portfolios from the bottom-up, so the sector and country allocations in their strategies are primarily the result of individual stock selection, and not a top-down country or sector allocation process.
