About

GQG Partners was founded by Rajiv Jain, former CIO and Co-CEO of Vontobel Asset Management, in June 2016. Rajiv brings over 25 years of global equity investing experience and whilst at Vontobel built the business from less than $400 million in assets under management in 2002 to nearly $50 billion by 2016.

GQG has cultivated a differentiated research process that can be applied across industries and geographies within both developed and emerging markets, and strive to build concentrated and unconstrained portfolios that are diversified by the risk factors impacting the end-client demand of the portfolio companies.

GQG has grown to more than US$94.6 billion in regulatory assets under management (as of 31 May 2022).

3 Reasons Why We’re Partnered with GQG

  • Rajiv has an enduring investment philosophy in seeking long-term, sustainable and quality businesses that are selling at reasonable price with long experience in both up and down markets. Over the past two decades Rajiv has invested through 10 emerging markets declines of greater than 20%, three of which resulted in a greater than 50% loss for the benchmark index, and throughout these market environments has demonstrated the ability to generate consistent outperformance of several hundred basis points relative to the benchmark.

  • Strong client alignment is one of the principles on which the firm was founded and something we think is very important. A majority of Rajiv’s personal net worth and meaningful portion of employees’ incentive compensation is invested alongside client portfolios, and the firm employs no soft dollars and restricts personal trading.

  • GQG manage benchmark-agnostic portfolios that frequently vary significantly from the benchmark index. These positions, often concentrated, reflect careful consideration of company-specific issues and result in portfolios of companies with long-term growth prospects which aren’t strongly correlated to macroeconomic conditions. The investment process that Rajiv has built, coupled with the diversity of GQG’s investment team, give us great conviction in their ability to generate alpha over the long term with lower-than-market risk.
