  • Research is the foundation of all client work - the focus is on determining how each manager can add value and whether they have quality staff and the financial resources to achieve their aims.

    vER conducts all research in house, which involves regular site visits. This approach extends to global manager research, with each head office visited prior to a recommendation.

    vER's process for fund manager selection involves both a qualitative and quantitative assessment (performance and portfolio analysis) to assess investment style and risk. Its staff, with an average of 17 years experience in the industry, is key to its ability to deliver quality research. Technology and the internet are integral to this service. Investment grade managers (AA & A rated) have typically delivered 2-4%pa more than the median manager - a top quartile outcome.

    Investment Outlook Research (IOR) is another important component in delivering value add to clients. Over the last 12 years the monthly published IOR has delivered top quartile results on tactical asset allocation.
