Investment approach
Pictet’s international equities team implements an investment approach focused on 4 drivers:
Cash flow
Normalizing cash flow forces a deep understanding of company and industry dynamics. Cash can’t be manipulated.
Return on capital
Growth must be profitable after taking into account the capital required to generate it.
Growth and reinvestment opportunities
The team seeks businesses with scope to grow by reinvesting the cash that is generated.
Value
The team works to establish what a business is worth, and seeks to pay a lot less for it.
Investment process
Pictet’s international equities team seeks to build a diversified international equity fund through bottom-up fundamental analysis. The focus is on growth in cash flow and value creation with the aim of buying stocks at a price below a conservative estimate of intrinsic value.
The goal is to build a focused portfolio that looks and feels very different from both the market and peer group.
