Qualitative Research Report and Data Tear Sheet
Research IP says
“Fundamental research is at the core of investment decisions. Ongoing assessment of risk and the probabilities of different scenarios playing out play an important role in how the Manager expects to outperform the objective over the long term. The Manager aims to price risk appropriately and ensure that no excessive risks are taken on any one sector or stock.“
“Sole focus in the equity space is value investing. The Manager has developed a repeatable investment process since 1979. The Manager has been persistent and over time has developed a lengthy institutional memory. A stable process gives clients stability in their expectations of how the strategy fits within their own portfolios.“
“Research IP believes the Manager has a strong platform to enable consistent analysis of fundamentals. It is a measured approach with evidence of their focus on risk characteristics at the stock level. The Manager demonstrates their commitment to fundamental analysis through the large number of staff in research, analyst, and portfolio manager roles (41 within equity management, including 25 CFA charterholders).”
