Performance
Seeking consistent performance across changing market conditions
GQG Partners was founded on the principles of client alignment and an investment process aimed at developing an insight advantage. We believe these characteristics distinguish us from other firms and provide a differentiated approach to managing our clients’ capital.
Our portfolios seek consistent, long-term outperformance while managing downside risk. We manage long only equity strategies driven by our Forward-Looking Quality investment philosophy.
The US Equity strategy exemplifies our philosophy and approach when investing in US markets. Our global perspective gives us knowledge-based insights no matter where in the world we choose to invest. Performance of the US Equity strategy relative to the benchmark and peer universe has been remarkably consistent since the inception of the strategy despite turbulent markets.
Strategy returns have exceeded the benchmark with less risk as defined by beta and standard deviation with a portfolio beta that has been consistently below the S&P500 Index benchmark. Portfolio volatility as measured by standard deviation has also ranked quite favorably and consistently in the top quartile – indicating lower volatility – relative to peers. The ability to post strong returns in robust markets is important to adding value, however reducing the impact of market drawdowns can contribute much more, in our opinion.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
PAST PERFORMANCE MAY NOT BE INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS
GQG Partners LLC (“GQG”) is registered as an investment adviser with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Please see GQG’s Form ADV Part 2, which is available upon request, for more information about GQG.
The information provided on this website has not been audited; does not constitute investment advice; is not a recommendation to follow any strategy or allocation; should not be substituted for the exercise of one’s own judgement; and no investment decision should be made based upon it. In addition, neither is it a recommendation, offer, or solicitation to sell or buy any security or to purchase of shares in any fund or establish any separately managed account. It should not be assumed that any recommendations made by GQG will be profitable or will equal the performance of any securities discussed herein. This website reflects the views of GQG as of a particular time; these views may change without notice. Any forward-looking statements or forecasts are based upon assumptions and actual results may vary. GQG provides this website and its content for informational purposes only. While GQG has gathered the information in good faith from sources it deems to be reliable, GQG does not represent or warrant that any information, without limitation, is accurate, reliable, or complete, and it should not be relied upon as such.
Before making any investment decision, you should seek expert, professional advice, including tax advice, and obtain information regarding the legal, fiscal, regulatory, and foreign currency requirements for any investment according to the law of your home country, place of residence, or current abode.
Any account or fund advised by GQG involves significant risks and is appropriate only for those persons who can bear the economic risk of the complete loss of their investment. There is no assurance that any account or fund will achieve its investment objective. Accounts and funds are subject to price volatility and the value of a portfolio will change as the prices of investments go up or down. Before investing in any strategy, you should consider the risks of the strategy as well as whether the strategy is appropriate based upon your investment objective(s) and risk tolerance. There may be additional risks associated with international and emerging markets investing involving foreign, economic, political, monetary, and/or legal factors. International investing is not for everyone. You can lose money by investing in securities.
INFORMATION ABOUT REPRESENTATIVE ACCOUNTS
Portfolio characteristics, top ten holdings, sector allocation, country allocation, ROE and market capitalization are based on a representative portfolio, which is the account in the composite that GQG believes most closely reflects the current portfolio management style for this strategy. Performance is not a consideration in the selection of the representative portfolio. The information for the representative portfolio shown may differ from that of the composite, however, performance for the representative portfolio is generally not materially higher than the performance of the composite. The top ten holdings identified and described do not represent all securities purchased, sold, or considered for clients in the composite and no assumption should be made that such securities or future recommendations were or will be profitable in the future. Portfolio holdings are subject to change without notice. Country allocations shown reflect the country of risk of the securities in the portfolio as assigned by Northern Trust (NT), though GQG’s portfolios are constructed based on GQG’s assessment of each issuer’s country of risk exposure, which may not be the same as NT’s country assignment. GQG assesses the country’s economic fortunes and risks to which it believes the issuer’s assets, operations and revenues are most exposed by considering such factors as the issuer’s country of incorporation, actual physical location of its operations, the primary exchange on which its securities are traded and the country in which the greatest percentage of its revenue is generated.
INFORMATION ON RISK STATISTICS
Standard Deviation: Absolute volatility measured as the dispersion of monthly returns around an average. Alpha: Outperformance measured as risk-adjusted excess returns over the benchmark. Beta: Relative volatility measured as systematic risk relative to a benchmark.
Historical Success Rates calculate the percentage of rolling periods that have achieved positive excess returns versus a benchmark over a stated date range. For example, a 3-year rolling period with a 1-month shift would have 85 individual 3-year periods (each beginning one month after the last) over a 10-year range. If a strategy achieved positive excess returns in 60 of those 85 periods, it would have a historical success rate of 70.59% (60 divided by 85).
