Growth Equity Strategies: A 20-Year Milestone
Inside the Growth Equity Strategies Team
We are highly selective investors, employing a long-term private equity approach. Through our proprietary, bottom-up research, we seek to invest in a select few high-quality businesses with sustainable competitive advantages and profitable growth, but only when they trade at a discount to our estimate of intrinsic value.

A Culture of Patience, Process, & Performance
Loomis Sayles proudly celebrates a differentiated approach to growth equity investing under the leadership of Aziz V. Hamzaogullari, CFA, the founder, chief investment officer and portfolio manager of the Loomis Sayles Growth Equity Strategies (GES) Team. Aziz is also an executive vice president and a member of the firm’s Board of Directors.
Aziz brought a differentiated approach to equity investing when he joined Loomis Sayles in 2010. A proprietary seven-step research framework supports the GES Team’s long-term, private equity approach to investing. The Team seeks to invest in those few high-quality businesses with sustainable competitive advantages and profitable growth only when they trade at a discount to the GES estimate of intrinsic value.
Underpinned by this singular investment philosophy, the GES Team expanded its platform from US-focused Large Cap Growth and All Cap Growth strategies to also include Global Growth and International Growth long-only strategies as well as a Long/Short Growth Equity hedge fund strategy. These strategies are available in the US through vehicles including mutual funds, managed accounts, CITs and an ETF as well as UCITS and other vehicles outside the US.
