These research meetings are at the center of our investment process and provide invaluable insights into environmental, social and governance factors, amongst other key drivers of earnings sustainability.
Stock-centric, risk-aware portfolio
Our portfolio construction process seeks to build a research-driven, high-conviction portfolio that incorporates diversified economic drivers with no directional bias.

This material is intended to be of general interest only and should not be construed as individual investment advice or a recommendation or solicitation to buy, sell or hold any security or to adopt any investment strategy. All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee that a strategy will meet its objective. Performance may also be affected by currency fluctuations. Reduced liquidity may have a negative impact on the price of the assets. Currency fluctuations may affect the value of overseas investments. Where a strategy invests in emerging markets, the risks can be greater than in developed markets. Where a strategy invests in derivative instruments, this entails specific risks that may increase the risk profile of the strategy. Where a strategy invests in a specific sector or geographical area, the returns may be more volatile than a more diversified strategy.
