Harding Loevner Portfolio holdings
Harding Loevner is an investment manager that buys stocks from around the world, looking for high-quality, growing companies to hold for the long term. Former managers for the Rockefeller family founded the firm in 1989; Affiliated Managers Group owns most of it, though it operates independently and its key employees hold the rest. A company must show a competitive advantage, quality management, financial strength and sustainable growth before the firm will consider buying it, and individuals rather than committees make the decisions. It offers its strategies through individually managed portfolios, mutual funds and programs run by other financial institutions, for clients such as retirement plans, foundations, endowments and sovereign wealth funds.
