Fisher Equity Advisors feels strongly that active portfolio management based on fees rather than commission based compensation increases our ability to manage portfolio risk in all markets and does not represent a conflict of interest as can commission based programs. We make portfolio decisions for our clients on a long-term basis and our style of management allows us to do so.
