Philosophy

We are a principled investment organisation – our investment philosophy guides every decision to buy or sell a stock. Capital International's investment approach can be summarised by three core beliefs:

Research is fundamental to sound investment decisions
We employ experienced analysts who are charged with gathering in-depth, first-hand information on companies and markets around the world. They go to great lengths to understand the difference between the fundamental value of a company and its price in the market.

Active management adds value
Each portfolio is built by employing a bottom-up, security-by-security approach without regard to industry, sector or country benchmark weightings. We invest in securities with a long-term view, which we believe is a reliable path to superior investment results.

Conviction investing is key
Our portfolio managers only invest in their highest conviction ideas, and our analysts don't just make recommendations, they manage money by building concentrated portfolios of their strongest convictions. We believe great investment decisions are made through conviction, not consensus.

Over time, our emphasis on staying true to our investment approach has contributed to consistency of results and to the long-term benefit of our investors.
