Client Service

Connecting You to Service & Support

Value reflects more than our investment style. It defines who we are, and our relationship with each other and those we serve. It determines how and why we do business.

Brandes understands institutional plans need to meet two main fiduciary responsibilities:

  1. Payment certainty
  2. Long-term obligations

Brandes specializes in helping institutional plans meet their long-term fiduciary responsibilities. Our value-focused strategies are designed to be an integral part of your plan’s asset allocation mix.

Our equity and fixed-income strategies offer:

  • A long-term focus and independent thinking that puts client interests first
  • A consistent Graham-and-Dodd, bottom-up value approach
  • Established global research teams covering the market-cap spectrum

Our mutual funds and separate accounts are available for:

  • Corporate Defined Benefit / Defined Contribution Retirement Plans
  • Endowments and Foundations
  • Public Retirement Plans
  • Taft-Hartley Plans

Our Institutional Team is ready to help. 

Consider how our service orientation and value commitment can help you meet your long-term institutional investing obligations.
