State Farm® has been in the mutual funds business since 1968, managing funds then only available to employees and Agents. In 2001, State Farm Mutual Funds products and services became available to the public for the first time. Our main objective is to make each of our 15 State Farm Mutual Funds® a highly competitive and rewarding long-term investment for our shareholders. To help achieve this objective, we use an investment management structure that capitalizes on the unique strengths, focused attention, and knowledge of seasoned investment professionals in State Farm’s internal investment department. Because we offer a wide variety of funds, some outside the core knowledge of our internal investment department, we also have seven other highly-respected asset management organizations working for you. Each of our investment advisors provides well-known, long-established experts in their respective investment strategies and has beliefs and investment philosophies that are consistent with our own. State Farm Mutual Funds shareholders can feel confident that their investments are being managed in a responsible, conservative, and cost-effective manner consistent with a long-term perspective

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Trust holds the endowment, including the annual installments of Warren Buffett's gift, and funds the foundation. Bill and Melinda are the trustees for the Foundation Trust, and the endowment continues to be managed, as it has been for more than 10 years, by a team of outside investment managers. The trust invests undistributed assets, with the exclusive goal of maximizing the return on investment. Investments include companies that have been criticized for worsening poverty in the same developing countries where the Foundation is attempting to relieve poverty. The majority of the trust's assets are invested in government and corporate bonds, with additional holdings in commercial paper and other short-term debt securities. The trust engages in substantial foreign currency transactions, options and futures trading and lending out of securities.

AQR specializes in quantitative investment analysis. The firm's models may consider a wide breadth of factors - from traditional valuation measures, momentum indicators, and price signals, to textual analysis of financial reporting and terms of trade information. They perform their research internally. AQR begins the process of building a model to test the strategy's viability once an investment approach is identified. The model building process generally consists of two steps: (1) designing an investing strategy to implement the given approach; and (2) producing testable implications. They perform ongoing research to monitor and maintain the effectiveness of its models over time. In developing quantitative forecasting computer models, they use external data. AQR may also utilize discretionary and/or hybrid strategies through a combination of quantitative and fundamental techniques. They utilize several investment strategies including, but not limited to, arbitrage strategies, equity strategies, global macro strategies, fixed income strategies, and risk parity.
