Brandywine Global Investment Management, LLC
Brandywine Global Investment Management, founded to achieve steady asset growth through successful investment management and to provide top-quality client service, continues to evolve around these core principles.
Started in 1986 by a group of experienced portfolio managers, Brandywine became a wholly owned but independent division of Legg Mason, Inc. in 1998. Legg Mason, through its predecessors and subsidiaries, has been providing investment services to investors since 1899. Legg Mason manages nearly C$800 billion* in assets.
Brandywine manages C$35 billion*. From their home office in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, this mid-sized firm employs 147 people including 35 investment professionals.
Investment philosophy
Since its inception, Brandywine has pursued one investment approach – value investing. They conduct in-depth research and rely on practical experience in equity, fixed-income, domestic and foreign markets.
Investment process
Brandywine offers a unique approach to international bond investing. They avoid index-like country weights, preferring to look for absolute value among a highly concentrated portfolio of 15 to 20 individual bond holdings.
Brandywine seeks to generate returns by:
- Investing in bonds with the highest real yields
- Controlling risk by purchasing undervalued securities
- Patiently rotating among countries
- Managing currency to protect capital
