Podcast: Explaining 4D's country review process

Sarah Shaw

4D Infrastructure

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."

Listen to the podcast here.

Topics covered:

  • How Russia stacks up in 4D's country review process
  • The origins and purpose of the country review process
  • Red, yellow and green: the four-step process behind 4D’s traffic light system (and the subsequent implications)
  • Examples of when the process has unexpectedly changed a country’s rating
  • Global recovery, growth and opportunities in an inflationary environment.
