  • 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.
