Global Equities | Pendal Group

Our approach to global equities

Pendal offers a broad array of offshore investment strategies through our Australian-based global equities team, our wholly-owned subsidiary J O Hambro, our responsible investing business Regnan and specialist sub-advisers.

Our global equities managers use active, fundamental, bottom-up stock-selection processes with differences in portfolio construction.

Our fund managers have complete investment authority over their funds. This leads to a diversity of views and approaches across our investment professionals.

The managers of Pendal Group and J O Hambro may leverage each other’s expertise, but there is no “house view” on economies, markets, sectors or stocks.

JOHCM’s fund managers are attracted by its entrepreneurial approach, investment autonomy and central support. This allows focus on investing without the distractions that can arise at a larger company.

This intellectual latitude and the absence of bureaucratic practices associated with many larger fund management houses has led to extremely low turnover among its investment professionals.

Each fund’s investment management process is tailored to its individual benchmark and goals.

Value can be added through a combination of country allocation as well as individual stock selection.
