Fisher Investments is a nationally recognized money manager based in Woodside, CA with billions under management for institutional and private clients. Fisher Investments was founded by CEO Ken Fisher, who is known for writing the Portfolio Strategy column for Forbes magazine since 1984, authoring several best-selling books including his most recent, The Ten Roads to Riches (Wiley, Oct 2008), and contributing to a number of other financial publications.
Fisher Investments, founded as a sole proprietorship in 1979, started primarily as an institutional investment manager. In 1995, Fisher Investments began offering services directly to high net worth individuals through its Private Client Group, which has experienced tremendous growth and now represents a significant amount of managed assets.
One of the attributes making Fisher Investments unique is its commitment to continuous education. We provide a variety of materials to both clients and employees, including research-driven reports, investments books through Fisher Investments Press, and financial news and commentary through the MarketMinder.com website.
As the firm has grown, we have hired at a parallel pace, seeking dynamic individuals to join our investment team across all aspects of the firm. In 2007, Fisher Investments opened an office in Vancouver, WA, increasing the firm's number of US-based offices to three, joining operations in San Mateo, CA and company headquarters in Woodside, CA. The firm also has a wholly-owned subsidiary, Fisher Wealth Management, in London, England.
Fisher Investments offers employees substantial responsibility from the first day on the job with additional responsibilities based on capability and performance. We believe that change is good and encourage our employees to further develop and enhance their skills. Our environment is dynamic, fast-paced and innovative. Fisher Investments provides a stimulating, challenging and merit-based setting where each person can make an impact.

Fisher Investments strives to maintain an open work environment to promote interaction and productivity. As such, there are no offices or cubicles. In fact, the only person at the firm who has a personal office is Ken Fisher, the Chairman & CEO. The environment is also fast-paced and energetic. Fisher Investments has a team-oriented atmosphere, where employees are exposed to all aspects of the business and departments interact regularly and openly with one another.
A Personal Touch...
Fisher Investments created the Private Client Group to deliver institutional-level service and capabilities directly to high net worth individuals. Each client works exclusively with a team of investment professionals to setup and maintain an investment plan based on individual long-term objectives. A dedicated Investment Counselor (IC) is assigned to each client and serves as the primary point of contact throughout the relationship, as well as a liaison to the Investment Policy Committee (IPC). This personalized approach allows clients to reap the benefits of Fisher Investments’ overall investment strategy while retaining specific goals.
Communication...
As part of its core business, Fisher Investments is committed to keeping clients well informed. Fisher Investments educates clients through regular verbal communications, written research reports and daily financial commentary at MarketMinder.com. In addition, we hold regular seminars across the country to keep clients current on our views on the markets and economy and the impact on their portfolio.
Cutting-Edge Technology...
Technology is an integral part of Fisher Investments’ services and an essential component in delivering value to clients. Fisher Investments delivers technology-driven superiority over a wide range of categories including:
Trading
Portfolio Analysis
Research
Communications
Competitive Fees...
Many underestimate the importance of low expenses for good portfolio performance. Every dollar kept is more money growing in the market. High fees are a big reason so many investors can’t beat the stock market. Fisher Investments makes no commissions on trades and charges fees based solely on the value of the portfolio, which aligns our incentives with clients’ incentives and helps us avoid conflicts of interest.
