Active Never Rests: Our Approach

ACTIVE MANAGEMENT: Benefits of Active Management


The key benefit of active management is the opportunity to be better than average by identifying and dynamically allocating capital toward companies that are outperforming over time. The challenge for the end investor is to identify active managers that develop a culture and a repeatable investment process that may provide superior long-term investment returns.

ACTIVE MANAGEMENT: Our Active Culture


At William Blair, we’ve created an intensely collaborative culture where we can share ideas and leverage each other’s unique perspectives. At the same time, our autonomous investment teams have the flexibility to develop an investment process they believe is best suited for delivering better client outcomes.

ACTIVE MANAGEMENT: Our Active Approach


Curiosity and conviction are in our DNA, which enables us to find investment opportunities that the rest of the market doesn’t. In addition to seeking to deliver investment performance that’s consistent with client expectations, we also provide our clients with unique investment insights. Ultimately, we strive to be a trusted partner.

ACTIVE MANAGEMENT: Our Active Ownership Structure

The William Blair partnership is unique in that it is 100% owned by active employees. Our ownership structure provides for a stable, long-term foundation for our business and helps retain experienced investment professionals. This active ownership approach creates total alignment between our firm, our people, and our clients’ interests.

 

At William Blair, active management is more than just an investment approach. See how our active culture creates a dynamic environment that aligns with clients’ interests.
