Our Global Equity Management teams actively manage a number of discretionary, long-only equity funds. These funds employ a bottom-up approach to stock selection, aiming for long-term capital growth. Our flagship fund, the Global Best Ideas Equity Fund (GBI), is a concentrated portfolio of best-in-class global companies. Each of these companies possesses a well-established and sustainable competitive edge, acquired at an attractive valuation. Our equity teams operate from key locations in London, Zurich, and South Africa

• Our other equity funds follow the same investment philosophy and investment strategy.
  • The Stonehage Fleming Worldwide Flexible Prescient Fund mirrors 80% of our GBI fund, with 20% allocated to our best ideas listed in South Africa.
  • The Stonehage Fleming Equity Prescient Fund exclusively targets our top South Africa listed businesses.

“Our investment philosophy focuses on identifying and investing in best-in-class businesses for their quality, strategic competitive edge and value. We believe that by building a portfolio of such businesses, we can achieve a consistently favourable return on investment over time” – Gerrit Smit
