The case for active investing (by Threadneedle Investments) - Threadneedle is an active asset manager. We believe markets are inefficient and use a disciplined investment process known as Perspective Advantage, which combines bottom-up with top-down analysis to exploit these inefficiencies.

Threadneedle CEO Campbell Fleming recently called for the debate on active versus passive investing to move from a focus on cost to a focus on value for money.
