RIM Equity Strategies

Regions Investment Management, Inc. (RIM) is concerned first and foremost about the fundamental quality of the investments we make. We believe that over time we can produce risk-adjusted returns by employing our proprietary quality metrics and using focused fundamental research. The RIM equity strategies are constructed using a fundamentally focused approach that combines quantitative and qualitative research.

Our philosophy:

• Quality companies generate consistent shareholder value over time and that value will be realized by the market.
• Quality companies can be bought at discounts at various points over the business cycle.
• By combining disciplined measures of quality with measures of value, we have generated superior risk-adjusted returns over a full market cycle.

RIM has a process focused on identifying companies with predictable earnings supported by a well-structured balance sheet.

• The investment process is disciplined and is applied consistently.
• The research process relies on traditional data screening and in depth analysis as well as unique insight.

RIM's dedicated equity analysts focus on specific sectors of the market tailoring research to the key drivers of each industry. Each security selected for inclusion in our equity strategies must pass fundamental and valuation criteria. We design portfolio constructions to emphasize stock selection as we believe in our ability to find undervalued securities.

RIM Fixed Income Strategies

RIM believes fixed income strategies should provide a stable source of income. Based on this philosophy, we construct diversified portfolios using issues categorized as high-quality*. RIM invests primarily in securities that are rated in the top four rating categories by at least one NRSRO for all strategies. Bonds with these ratings are commonly referred to as high-quality*. We actively manage strategies to produce the highest total return consistent with prudent investment management. We also believe our long-term, value-oriented approach to investing allows us to capitalize on temporary market inefficiencies.

Rigorous, fundamental analysis drives the portfolio construction process. The fixed income process relies on the equal emphasis of four tools to construct and manage portfolios: duration positioning, sector selection, yield curve positioning and security analysis. These four disciplines ensure that all areas of the bond market are continuously evaluated to manage risk and capitalize on opportunities.

We employ a top-down, macro-economic overview to continually assess business cycle trends within the framework of monetary and fiscal policies as well as broader global economic and political influences.
