Navigator

Investment strategy

Vector Navigator is an actively managed global equity fund, investing in companies that combine strong fundamentals with attractive valuation. The investment team employs a disciplined, fundamental analysis via a proprietary stock-selection model, assessing over 2500 companies worldwide. The model replicates the approach taken by traditional investors whilst avoiding common behavioural biases. Its output is used to support the decision making of the team, who combine the model’s systematic analysis with their assessment of a company’s risk profile. The Fund is designed for consistency and is not biased towards value, growth, quality or sentiment investment styles, but seeks to benefit from the impact of such factors on stock valuations throughout the investment cycle. Each stock is systematically analysed across all of these dimensions, factoring in market sentiment towards the company, to identify those with the most attractive combinations. Throughout a full business cycle, the Fund aims to maximise its alpha while targeting a beta of 1 with global equity markets. The Fund may hold cash on an ancillary basis and invest up to 10% of its net assets in UCITS. It may also use futures and other derivatives to hedge its currency and market exposure.
