Why Seek Quality Investment Opportunities?
Quality investing has been a successful strategy.
Possible explanations based on empirical evidence and our experience as active portfolio managers
Lower Risk ProfileInvestor Psychology
Avoids being influenced by sell-side research
Avoids reacting to the positive price momentum of low-quality stocks
Avoids behavioural pitfalls when having a strong valuation discipline
Stable returns on capital employed offer good downside protection in volatile markets
Quality companies typically have a greater ability to self-fund growth than highly leveraged rivals
Quality companies have the ability to sustain their returns on capital
Long-Term Perspective
Quality characteristics of companies tend to be persistent over time
Company behaviour is more predictable than market behaviour
Portfolio turnover not driven by short-term results

Use a Proven Value-Based Process
Criteria What to Avoid Our Approach
Quality of Business A short investment timeframe
Overly simplistic in categorising business risk
Is it a good business?
Competitive position
Return on capital
Valuation Relative valuation and market prices
Little assessment of fundamental risks
What is the intrinsic value?
Ultimate free cash flow
Ultimate asset value
Path to Success Eroding fundamental backdrop
Confusing good companies as good investments
What is the resilience of quality?
Realization of intrinsic value

Read the Thornburg Global Investment plc Prospectus and relevant Key Investor Information Document (KIID) carefully before investing in the Company or any of its Funds.Unless otherwise noted, any reference to the Fund signifies a sub-fund of Thornburg Global Investment plc, an open-ended umbrella type investment company with segregated liability between sub-funds and is authorised as a UCITS.
The views expressed by the portfolio managers reflect their professional opinions and should not be considered buy or sell recommendations. These views are subject to change.
Any securities, sectors, or countries mentioned are for illustration purposes only. Portfolio holdings are subject to change daily. Under no circumstances does the information contained within represent a recommendation to buy or sell securities.
Past performance does not guarantee future results.
The MSCI All Country (AC) World Index is a market-capitalization weighted index that is representative of the market structure of 45 developed and emerging market countries in North and South America, Europe, Africa, and the Pacific Rim. The index is calculated with net dividends reinvested in U.S. dollars.
The performance of any index is not indicative of the performance of any particular investment. Keep in mind that indices do not take into account any fees and expenses of the individual investments that they track. You cannot make an investment in any index.
Funds invested in a limited number of holdings may expose an investor to greater volatility.
Important information for UK investors: The Fund does not have a place of business in the United Kingdom and is not authorized under the Financial Services Act of 1986 (the “Act”). As a consequence, the regulatory regime governing an investor’s rights in respect to the Fund (and its similarly unauthorized overseas agents) will be different to that of the United Kingdom. Investors will not, for example, be entitled to compensation under the United Kingdom’s Investors Compensation Scheme. The Fund is an unregulated collective investment scheme under the laws of the United Kingdom and, therefore, can be promoted in the United Kingdom only to persons in accordance with the Act and the Financial Services (promotion of Unregulated Schemes) Regulations 1991 (the “Regulations”). Accordingly, this commentary may not be distributed in the United Kingdom other than to persons authorized to carry on investment business under the Act, persons whose ordinary business involves the acquisition and disposal of property of the same kind as the property or a substantial part of the property in which the Fund invests, and persons permitted to receive this commentary under the Regulations. In addition, this commentary may not be issued or passed on in the United Kingdom to any person, other than to persons to whom the commentary may otherwise lawfully be issued, unless that person is of a kind described in Article 11(3) of the Financial Services Act of 1986 (Investment Advertisements) (Exemptions) Order 1996 (as amended).
Investments in each Fund carry risks, including possible loss of principal. Special risks may be associated with investments in emerging markets, including currency fluctuations, illiquidity and volatility. Investments in small capitalization companies may increase the risk of greater price fluctuations. Investments in the Funds are not insured, nor are they deposits of, or guaranteed by, a bank or any other entity. If you are in any doubt about the risks involved in investing in the Company or the suitability of you investing in the Company, you should consult your stockbroker, bank manager, solicitor, accountant or other independent financial adviser. Prices for Shares may fall as well as rise and the return upon an investment will therefore necessarily be variable. Changes in exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the effective price per Share or income. Investors should also be aware that the difference at any one time between the subscription and redemption prices of the Shares means that an investment in the Company should be viewed as medium to long term. The Company is authorised andregulated in Ireland by the Central Bank as a Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities (UCITS) pursuant to the UCITS Regulations. Authorisation of the Company by the Central Bank is not an endorsement or guarantee of the Company by the Central Bank nor is the Central Bank responsible for the contents of the Prospectus or KIID. The Central Bank shall not be liable by virtue of its authorisation of the Company or by reason of its exercise of the functions conferred on it by the legislation in relation to the Company for any default of the Company. Authorisation of the Company by the Central Bank shall not constitute a warranty as to the performance of the Company and shall not be liable for the performance or default of the Company.
