Strategy
Investment Objective
We seek to find the right balance between conviction and diversification in pursuit of returns. We look to harness the best bottom-up ideas from our experienced global research team to uncover opportunities across a wide opportunity set. With a focus on finding durable and resilient companies, we aim to build a diverse portfolio that seeks to maximise return without excessive risk. The promotion of environmental and/or social characteristics is achieved through the fund's commitment to maintain at least 10% of the value of its portfolio invested in Sustainable Investments, as defined by the SFDR. Additionally, we apply a proprietary responsible screen (exclusion list). The manager is not constrained by the fund’s benchmark, which is used for performance comparison purposes only.
Investment Approach
- Applies an active, style-balanced approach to a global opportunity set to seek to create a concentrated, global, sector-diversified portfolio of 30-45 high conviction investments with an aim to provide consistent, positive excess returns against the MSCI World Index Net over a full market cycle.
- We believe that using our expansive global research capabilities can assist us in uncovering and exploiting anomalies and short-term dislocation among global equities and help identify strong businesses with durable competitive advantages across a wide spectrum of disruptors, steady growers, and cyclicals and turnarounds.
- We look to own durable and resilient companies with clear reasons why they are expected to continue to benefit.
- By building the portfolio from the bottom up and taking a multi-faceted view of risk, we aim to avoid unintended macro variables
- A high active share strategy with the majority of portfolio risk (approximately 60-80%) attributable to stock-specific risk
- Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations are fully integrated into the portfolio's investment process and help enhance investment decisions in companies we believe are on the right side of change.
- Seeks a longer-term time horizon (2-3 year holding period per security) which results in moderate turnover and ability to compound value and exploit market inefficiencies.
