View on Past Performance

Thornburg Investment Management, based in Santa Fe, was chosen as manager based on the outstanding performance record of its Thornburg Value Fund, upon which the Investec American Fund itself is modelled.The team employs a systematic quantitative screening process that aims to unearth promising companies with sound business fundamentals that are priced at a discount to their intrinsic value. America's equity universe of approximately 10,000 stocks is honed to a shortlist of 100-150 companies. These stocks are then examined using fundamental analysis and intensive research to arrive at a final portfolio of the 35-45 most compelling investment opportunities.
