Formerly: Fiera U.S. Equity Core
Strategy Overview
Investment Strategy
The Fiera Apex U.S. Equity Core strategy looks to identify and invest in high-quality, stable and resilient companies that demonstrate the financial strength and ability to consistently increase dividends. Portfolio holdings are analyzed for the attractiveness of their business models and their underlying fundamental metrics such as the return on their invested capital. The investment universe is filtered to concentrate on those companies with the highest 3-year and 5-year dividend growth rate, and those with the highest ratios of return on invested capital.
Why Invest in this Strategy
- Focused on high quality companies with attractive industry dynamics, sustainable competitive advantages and management teams who have demonstrated a commitment to shareholder value creation
- Balancing both dividend growth and income growth, the strategy strives to provide investors an attractive real yield (inflation adjusted), which can be challenging to find in fixed income investments with treasury yields at all-time lows
- Stable team with over 25 years of industry experience on average
- Demonstrated investment methodology, and a rigorous process designed to deliver strong capital appreciation over time and stability in down‑markets
