Long-term equity investors in good quality companies

At Stewart Investors, we believe in putting people first.

Our investment world-view is of a series of partnerships – with each other, with our clients, with the companies we invest in, the people who buy their goods and services, and with the wider society in which we all live and work.

We also understand that a company and its place in the community are so much more than a series of numbers on a screen or coloured slices in a pie chart.

We believe that fund management has a social purpose, encouraging a savings culture around long-term investment. Our philosophy of careful stewardship is in the best interests of clients and should protect capital over the long-term.

We’re in it for the long term

We manage investment portfolios on behalf of our clients over the long term and have held shares in some companies for over 20 years.

We launched our first investment strategy in 1988. For over three decades we have applied the same investment philosophy consistently across our investment strategies.

Our investment team

We are a small team of passionate investors managing, on behalf of our clients, investment portfolios with a focus on high-quality companies that are well positioned to contribute to, and benefit from, sustainable development.

We invest over the long term across five regions – Asia, Europe, Global Emerging Markets, the Indian Subcontinent and Worldwide.

Sustainable development - a driver of returns

We believe that companies that deliver benefits to society and the environment face fewer risks and have access to more enduring opportunities over the long term.

These companies are therefore better placed to deliver positive returns to shareholders.

We call these risks and opportunities sustainability headwinds and tailwinds.

But we recognise that sustainability tailwinds alone will not make a successful investment. The quality of the franchise, financials and management of a company is also critical. We don’t choose between sustainability positioning and corporate quality, we require both.

We do this not only because we think it’s the best way to protect and grow our clients’ capital over the long term, but also because we want to promote positive and sustainable outcomes for society in general.

To us, these two things are inextricably linked.

What are the risks?

Although all investments carry risk, the level of risk is dependent on the type of investment strategy and the underlying investments. Generally, the higher the potential return of an investment, the greater the risk.

The risks of investing in the Stewart Investors strategies include:

Company risk

Investment in equities is exposed to risks due to changes in that company or its business environment.

Equities risk

Equity securities are subject to changes in value, and their values may be more volatile than those of other asset classes.

Currency risk

For investments in international assets, which have currency exposure, there is potential for adverse movements in exchange rates to reduce their Australian dollar value.

Emerging market risk

Emerging markets tend to be more sensitive to economic and political conditions than developed markets. Other factors include greater liquidity risk, restrictions on investment or transfer of assets, failed/delayed settlement and difficulties valuing securities.

As with any investment, there are no guarantees on the value of the investment or the income generated from it. Investors may get back less than the original amount invested. For a full description of the terms of investment and the risks, please see the Product Disclosure Statement for each fund. If you are in any doubt as to the suitability of our funds for your investment needs, please seek financial advice.

Interactive portfolio holdings

We believe sustainability is core to any company's business model, not an optional extra.

We look for businesses whose success is tied to the social and environmental benefits they deliver, whether through the provision of basic sanitation products or advanced engineering software.

Stewart Investors invests in the shares of high quality companies that are well positioned to benefit from and contribute to sustainable development.

We believe that fully incorporating sustainability considerations into our investment process is the best way to protect and grow capital for clients. As an output of our bottom-up investment process, we do not invest in companies with material exposure to harmful products and services, or who fail to discharge their environmental stewardship and human rights responsibilities.
