•No distinction between analyst & portfolio manager

• Collective discussion & Individual decision

• Investment Team over the last 6 years: Non-existent staff turnover

In 1995 EDM entrusted the management of its EDM Strategy Fund to the asset management group Comgest, under the same principles that govern the fund today. One of the current fund managers, Ricardo Vidal, joined EDM in 1997 wherehe spent nine years monitoring the companies that Comgest included in the fund. In 2005 the EDM Investments Team began taking an active role in managing the fund, and ultimately Comgest officially ceased to supervise the fund in 2009.Since then it has been managed exclusively by EDM Asset Management.
