Strategic and markets considerations
Consistent themes that are common across our equity funds are that they follow a blended style approach, combining quality, momentum and value styles to generate excess returns, whilst also minimising risk and making the investment journey more palatable for our clients. In addition, the funds implement a best of breed approach – our team is passionate about identifying the very best third-party managers from around the world to implement the funds’ investment mandates. Where the funds differ is in their investment and portfolio construction processes with the one fund following a data-driven and rules based systematic approach, and the other combining the benefits of both fundamental active management with the benefits of a data driven systematic approach.
