About Investment Management

INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT PROCESS

Chemical Bank’s investment objective is to produce long-term investment results which carry a high degree of predictability and are consistent with the defined objectives of our customers.  Our investment management style therefore reflects a long-term commitment to the ownership of high quality investments.

Our investment management process is built around this investment objective.  Chemical Bank employs a top-down investment discipline which is known as the “Pyramid of Investing”.  This “Pyramid of Investing” represents a disciplined and organized approach to managing the client’s investments.

The investment management process consists of five steps each interrelated with the other.  The five steps in the process are:

  1. Create an investment policy statement.
  2. Establish an economic overview.
  3. Determine an appropriate asset allocation.
  4. Identify investment alternatives.
  5. Provide on-going evaluation.
