Nomura Funds Ireland – Global High Conviction Fund
Overview
Equity investors have long felt short-changed by fund managers as so few have proved able to outperform indices on a consistent basis. This has driven many to move to a ‘passive’ approach, turning to index trackers and ETFs.
Conversely, we believe that this secular shift is leading to growing opportunities for focused stock-pickers. However, to take advantage of these opportunities, investors need to focus on both the quality of the underlying assets and their intrinsic value.
Our Global High Conviction team is able to drill down on potential opportunities in markets across the world.
