Bottom-up investing is a strategy that overlooks the significance of industry or economic factors and instead focuses on the analyses of individual stocks and companies.
The approach assumes that individual companies can perform well in an industry that isn't doing well. If the company is strong, then macroeconomic concerns are thought to be of relatively little importance.
