Pioneer's
on-the-ground research allows its dedicated analysts
to meet face to face with top management of corporations,
enabling to make investment decisions that go
deeper than what market trends or remote analysis
can provide.

Pioneer understands that there is strength
in numbers – not just the numbers that
represent investment success, but the numbers
of people who work on behalf of its investors.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Today, Pioneer employs more than 180 investment
professionals around the globe, conducting more
than 4,000 company meetings annually. Its research
analysts are organized by sector and follow
companies' stocks throughout their lifecycle.

There are also bond funds, which invest in
bond markets, as well as mixed bond/equity funds
that allocate money on both the stock and bond
markets as a way of diversification of risk
(these funds may also hold cash, which has the
lowest risk, but also usually the lowest fixed
return rate).

in the communication and dissemination of information
and investment data. Through video-conferencing,
telecommunications and its vast computer networks,
