Fayez Sarofim & Co. employs a team of dedicated investment professionals to identify attractive investment opportunities that will produce superior results for our clients. Our investment process consists of a "top down" strategy formulated by our Investment Committee and "bottom up" purchase and sale recommendations presented to the Investment Committee by industry analysts. A typical career path for one of our investment professionals begins by joining the firm as an industry analyst after graduation from graduate business school. Over time, our professionals cover additional industries and increasingly handle client interaction, eventually gaining the perspective necessary to become a member of the Investment Committee.
