Columbia Partners primarily manages growth equities in large-, small- to mid- and small market cap categories. They also manage core equities in the large- and small-cap categories. The firm manages fixed income securities in core and intermediate strategies, with an emphasis on quality. Columbia Partners' equity strategies and fixed income strategies generally rely on the purchase and sale of securities managed within general parameters consistent with each underlying strategy. Several of the strategies are growth oriented; several are core strategies, which blend growth and value approaches. In a limited number of separate client accounts, they augment the purchase and sale of securities with the use of options and short sales with the objective of reducing the variability, both up and down, of those accounts.
