Defining Quality
High and stable return businesses
that are resilient to economic cycles
and reasonably priced
Pictet Asset Management | For professional investors only | Pictet Quality Global Equities
The economic rationale for Quality
High return businesses…
Reasonably priced businesses…
Profitable companies are less-likely to take short-term,
potentially counter-productive, measures due to market
pressures.
For a given stream of long-term future cash flows, the
higher the price, the lower the expected return and the
higher the riskiness (i.e. duration) of the asset.
The comfort of a wide economic moat should translate in
better strategic, value-enhancing, decisions in the long-run.
Moreover, stocks with high expectations baked in the price
are more likely to disappoint than otherwise.
Stable return businesses…
Resilient businesses…
High financial leverage and aggressive M&A policies are
double-edged swords.
Companies having demonstrated their ability to better
navigate the economic cycle tend to provide down-market
protection which is in-line with our conviction that in the
long-run, to gain more, you have to start by losing less.
Prudent companies should be less vulnerable than their
reckless peers during and after the unavoidable “hangover”
phase.

Philosophy : What are we convinced of ?
(Human + Machine + Process) > Machine > Human1
Leveraging the skills of traditionally opposed investment
schools within a well-defined and robust process is key to
long-term success.
Fundamental intuition and knowledge coupled with
quantitative rigor and risk culture result in portfolios
delivering attractive risk-adjusted returns.
History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme2
Investment process must be research-led and evidencebased.
Constant collaborative research between judgmental and
quantitative analysts help us recognize and adapt to
changing or unusual market conditions.
An inability to be guided by a "healthy fear"
of bad consequences is a disastrous flaw3
Everybody makes mistakes. Thoughtful portfolio
construction helps minimize the cost of those future,
unknowable, un-forecastable and un-plannable errors.
Moreover, the fact that this “healthy fear” is in short supply
among markets participants is a key reason why quality
companies outperform through time.

Quality analysis
−
4Ps Framework applied to each company to create an aggregate score
−
Quality rank is the equally-weighted sum of the rank of our individual quality factors
−
Stocks scoring in the top 25% qualify for the next step
Fundamental validation
−
Judgmental review of hard to quantify elements (goodwill, intangibles, forward looking statements, change in
accounting rules, etc… ) using fundamental analysis, market intelligence and PAM-wide industry expertise
−
Eliminate stocks screening poorly on individual metrics even if the aggregate rank is favorable.
Portfolio construction
−
Track cap-weighted portfolio of eligible quality companies with the following constraints :
- Maximum weight per company : 1.5%
›
- No small-cap bias
Rebalancing rules
−
Main rebalancing occur on a quarterly basis driven by earnings reporting frequency (Nov, Feb, May, Aug)
−
Ad-hoc rebalancing on a monthly basis driven by change in valuation and risk (Price & Protection)
