Schroder QEP International alueV 2Q 2021 Strategy Fact Sheet Key features 1. Value investing without compromising on Quality: Stock selection for this strategy is grounded in the analysis of company fundamentals indicating Value (dividends, cashflow, sales, assets and earnings). The team believes that Value outperforms over the long term, but to help minimize exposure to ‘value traps’, stocks which are cheap for good reason, investment decisions are also informed by the team’s analysis of business quality (profitability, stability, sales growth, financial strength and good governance). 2. Seeks high return without concentrated stock risk: Seeking higher returns can be associated with greater risk, as this is often achieved through a concentrated stock portfolio. We seek to reduce stock risk by building a highly diversified portfolio but with no less conviction. 3. Stock weights determined by fundamentals, not market cap: We weight stocks based upon their fundamentals and liquidity. This is more balanced and reduces stock selection ‘mega-cap’ drag which is particularly acute for other value investors. 4. Bottom-up, index unconstrained investing for more efficiency: We maximize our investment opportunities by systematically analyzing over 12,000 international stocks every day. The more attractively-priced stocks we find in a particular region or sector, the greater the subsequent portfolio allocation. This unconstrained bottom-up approach maximizes the potential return opportunity and avoids dead-money being allocated to expensive stocks to satisfy index constraints.
