Hexavest’s investment approach consists of active management at multiple decisional levels (regional allocation, country selection, sector and industry allocation, stock selection, and currency management) in order to diversify the sources of added value and reduce related portfolio risk. The primary decisions are governed by a fundamental analysis of macroeconomic factors using a top-down approach and are supported by quantitative models. Hexavest’s top-down strategies account for approximately 80% of the process while stock selection makes up the remaining 20%. Top-down strategies include region/country decisions, sector/industry decisions, and currency allocation. Top-down strategies are derived from the analysis of three broad factors: the macroeconomic environment, valuation of financial markets, and sentiment investors. This analysis is supported by proprietary quantitative models that act as validation tools. To provide their services, Hexavest generally invests in exchange-listed securities, foreign issuers, warrants, commercial paper, options contracts on securities, and futures contracts on intangibles.
