Podcast: Explaining 4D's country review process
Greg Goodsell, 4D’s Global Equity Strategist, recently spoke to Bennelong Funds Management account director, Dave Whitby, about 4D's unique country review process – an integral part of the business’s investment process – and its impact on the portfolio.
“When Sarah and I started to put 4D together … we wanted to formally incorporate country risk assessment into our investment process. We can’t invest in a stock unless we’re first happy with the country from which that stock comes."
