SGI’s Global Securities unit is tasked with creating a value driven shares portfolio that can deliver exceptional performance over the long term overview.
To this end it has brought on board the foremost global investment expertise and developed a structure that allows it to trade across the full spectrum of equity products. These will range from undervalued 'blue chip' stocks to private equity, pre-IPO, IPO and listed securities.
The aim is to be active in the markets to achieve optimum performance. Investments are constantly monitored, aggressively traded and subjected to rigorous risk management at aggregated and individual levels to ensure value is maintained.
SGI's managers seek to identify market liquidity, growth potential and proven management as a prerequisite for investing.
Its mandate requires SGI's Global Securities unit to produce consistently superior risk-adjusted returns on an annual basis. This over-riding concern shapes the unit's strategy.
The geographical spread of the portfolio should provide at a minimum median performance in line with the main performance indicators for the premier global stock markets. Premium performance is expected to come from the MENA (Middle East North Africa) and Asia markets and the unit is focusing strongly on the Indian subcontinent and South-East Asia where it sees tremendous opportunities emerging.
