We are not restricted to offering proprietary products or holding an inventory of securities. Our selection of securities and outside fund managers is based on unbiased research and analysis. During this ongoing process, our Senior Portfolio Managers and research analysts conduct rigorous quantitative and qualitative research, which enables Washington Trust to enhance the asset allocation options.
Our choices are made because we believe they are truly the best choices—not because we are obligated to sell a product or reduce inventory. Our independent structure and open architecture philosophy allow us to strategically combine in-house expertise with external investment management capabilities to truly achieve “best-of-class” portfolio construction.
