Key reasons to invest
- Proven portfolio management over extended time periods
- QV's Commitment to protect capital during volatile markets
- QV's investment approach that strategically positions the Fund
through all economic cycles
Investment Approach
QV Investors Inc. believes in
investing in quality companies with attractive valuations. Simply
stated, the management team seeks better returns and lower
valuations than the market. They do so by purchasing companies with
above average returns on equity capital, but whose shares trade
below their intrinsic value. This approach has consistently yielded
superior risk-adjusted equity returns over the long-term.
The management team complements
equity investing by selecting high quality fixed income securities
with typically shorter-term bonds versus the index to create a
stable income portfolio.
