A distinctive investment philosophy and process
Davy Global Fund Management is a boutique active manager with a distinctive quality-based approach to investing that integrates ESG and combines the strengths of both fundamental and quantitative investing styles. We apply a sophisticated, proprietary definition of quality and integrate ESG continually through the investment process. Our funds follow a Quantamental approach that combines the freedom of judgement of fundamental investing with the bias-free objectivity of a quantitative model.
The DGFM investment philosophy is founded on quality. We believe that investing in stocks with persistent characteristics over the cycle can transcend traditional investing styles such as growth and value. Our quest for high-quality investments focuses on profitability and its rate of change, greater stability and capital management. Our quality process embeds ESG into every investment strategy.
Every investment strategy follows a Quantamental approach that combines the freedom of judgement of fundamental investing with the bias-free objectivity of quantitative modelling. We believe this process generates deeper insights as well as greater consistency and efficiency and allows us to better manage the investable universe for our clients.
We believe environmental, social and governance (‘ESG’) risks are among the most acute long-term challenges faced by businesses today. The way companies respond to ESG issues provides a vital non-financial input to our investment process, helping us to evaluate how well businesses are managing their long-term risks and opportunities. We follow an innovative, investor-driven approach to ESG which we believe yields more meaningful results than traditional approaches.
