Decision-Making ProcessHigh-conviction, team decision-making process is expected to result in a high active share portfolio
StrategyThe Strategies have historically provided relatively strong results since inception, with bottom-up stock selection driving excess returns (although past performance is no guarantee of future results)

The investment process focuses on long-term holdings in companies with diversified revenue streams that the investment team believes have the ability to sustain growth, year after year, regardless of the economic cycle. The result of this investment philosophy is expected to be a diversified, high-conviction portfolio investing in companies that the investment team finds attractively valued, while also looking to protect investors in volatile market environments.

International Equity All Country (Fundamental)

Objective

The Fundamental International Equity All Country Strategy is a bottom-up investment strategy, incorporating individual company fundamental analysis, industry competitive dynamics, and analysis on secular trends to identify long-term holdings in companies that have the potential for sustainable growth.

Investment Universe

The team seeks investable ideas across all sectors, geographies (except the US), and market capitalizations. The Strategy’s investable universe is not constrained by the benchmark (the MSCI All Country World ex-US Index), therefore research can be conducted on any non-US company, so long as the stock meets the team’s strict fundamental investment criteria regarding sustainability.
