Transformative investing through a decade-long horizon

Finding opportunity beyond market consensus

In volatile and uncertain markets, short-term sentiment can often create a disconnect between share prices and underlying business value. For investors focused on long-term outcomes, these market dislocations can present compelling opportunities.

Sub-advised by Dodge & Cox, the strategy focuses on fundamentally strong companies trading below their long-term value potential, while maintaining broad global diversification.

With a minimum five-year investment horizon, the fund seeks to deliver long-term capital growth and income by looking beyond market noise and investing with conviction where others see uncertainty.
