Top-Down Approach
In simple terms, a top-down approach is an investment strategy that selects various sectors or industries and tries to achieve a balance in an investment portfolio. The top-down approach analyzes the risk by aggregating the impact of internal operational failures. It measures the variances in the economic variables that are not explained by the external macro-economic factors. As such, this approach is simple and not data-intensive. The top-down approach relies mainly on historical data. This approach is opposite to the bottom-up approach.
Bottom-Up Approach
A bottom-up approach, on the other hand, is an investment strategy that depends on the selection of individual stocks. It observes the performance and management of companies and not general economic trends. The bottom-up approach analyzes individual risk in the process by using mathematical models and is thus data-intensive. This method does not rely on historical data. It is a forward-looking approach unlike the top-down model, which is backward-looking.
