In this edition, we passionately position our case in favour of differentiated investment management and share insights into how these views are reflected in the portfolios. Despite the challenging investment environment ahead, we believe we are in the process of seeing some great investment prospects unfolding for patient long-term investors. In the first article, Fund Manager Shaun le Roux argues the unwinding of distortions will have a dramatic impact on fund returns in the year ahead. Nonetheless, there are some appealing prospects for differentiated thinkers. Fund Manager Philipp Wörz and CIO Greg Hopkins highlight the concentration we have seen in fund positioning, and offer compelling arguments why differentiated managers bring benefits as part of a diversified portfolio. Lastly, Fund Managers Philipp Wörz and Shaun le Roux unpack how the abundance of opportunities we see are incorporated into our portfolios.
