Do you need a fresh perspective?

 

We never stop asking what true quality means. In our quest for quality, we actively seek diverse perspectives across asset classes. So, when it comes to investing for quality, our clients can be sure we aim to ask the right questions and analyze from multiple angles. It’s this unique focus that empowers them to build better futures.

The timeless answer to an age-old question

Where to invest? We believe that quality is the answer. It offers a stable journey at a time when a lag exists between monetary policy actions and their effect on the economy and financial markets. Quality is a time-tested portfolio staple: It has provided safety, profitability, and growth through the cycle. Some investors perceive quality as ‘boring,’ but we don’t think that’s the case. Quality tends to lose less in down markets, which can be key to compounding returns over time.

Investors want attractive returns and an investment that is careful with their capital. Matt Benkendorf, the CIO of Quality Growth, explores how quality investing at Vontobel can help deliver on these requirements, how quality fits into investors’ portfolios and why we believe that quality is a valuable investing approach that can deliver for investors.

 

“We seek out the best companies across the globe. We question received wisdom, unmerited champions, and lazy assumptions. Because only through discipline and rigor can we identify true quality and deliver the enduring returns, with lower risk, that our clients need.”
