Global Equity Fund and Active ETF

Great investment teams are equally strong in offence and defence.

Loomis Sayles Global Equity Fund

Harness long-term global growth potential, while reducing risk

Global equity markets have hit multiple new highs in recent times, driven by US mega-cap technology stocks and AI excitement. However, it hasn’t all been smooth sailing. US policy changes, war in Europe and the Middle East, and increasing global geopolitical tension have created significant volatility and economic uncertainty. In uncertain investing times we believe active investment teams that are equally strong playing offence and defence, like the Loomis Sayles Growth Equity Strategies Team (GES Team), are best placed to deliver attractive, risk-adjusted returns over the long term.

The Loomis Sayles Global Equity Fund (Fund) has been managed by the Loomis Sayles GES Team in line with its Global Growth Strategy since 14 October 2024.

The information and statistics below are primarily for the underlying strategy, as this best represents how the fund will be managed in future, however the specific past performance of the Fund is referenced in Point 4 to show the Fund’s transition.

Reasons to invest

The Loomis Sayles Growth Equity Strategies (GES) Team approaches equity investing as if it is buying into a private business. The team’s long investment horizon is central to this philosophy; they hold a stock for 8-10 years on average with low turnover of around 10% per annum since inception*.

Please be aware that the turnover of the Global Growth Equity Strategy is NOT the turnover of the Fund, but it may be a good reference point given that the same strategy is applied to the Fund.

The GES Team believes that pursuing greater upside potential and managing absolute risk are inextricable goals. The Loomis Sayles Global Growth Equity strategy has outperformed its benchmark 100% of the time for monthly rolling five-year periods since inception in 2016. The strategy has strongly out-performed when global equity markets climbed, and then defended its gains when markets dropped, maintaining overall outperformance*.

Please be aware that the past performance of the Global Growth Equity Strategy is NOT the past performance of the Fund, but it may be a good reference point given that the same strategy is applied to the Fund.

The Loomis Sayles Global Equity Fund is high conviction, holding from 30-40 stocks. The GES Team develops a deep understanding of each investment through their bottom-up, proprietary seven-step research process and achieves comprehensive diversification through a deep understanding of the underlying business drivers of each company they invest in. 

The Loomis Sayles Global Equity Fund has been ranked in the top quartile of its Morningstar Peer Group over 1, 3 and 5 years*.
