For example, internal and external research, macro-economic analysis, through research of the market, and team meetings all contribute to such ideas in case of fixed income funds. On the other hand, external research, meetings with industry experts, suppliers, regulators, and investment team meetings generate ideas in case of equity funds.

It checks corporate governance, management track record, balance sheet strength, competitive positioning, business attractiveness, profitability, and valuations for equities.
Fund managers continually monitor portfolios to ensure they are reaching their financial objectives and within the determined risk levels.

Fund managers will only pick the ideas, among the ones generated, that have the most potential.
