“Investec Asset Management believes that investing in Quality companies can provide greater certainty in the uncertain markets we are currently faced with. Investec’s Quality approach is to look for companies which typically have high customer loyalty, strong brands and low debt. These companies have historically proved more resilient in times of economic uncertainty.” They mention.
During the presentation, George, will discuss Investec’s rigorous research process and how there are not many companies which meet Investec’s exacting requirements. Bradley will also provide an overview of the strategies’ global portfolios showing how they are currently positioned.
