Quality stocks at attractive valuations Fundamental bottom up with top down overlay High conviction After tax aware

Companies with earnings strength – improving return Superior industry position Sound balance sheet Strong management Low ESG risk

Quality companies can successfully reinvest capital Pricing power enables growth above inflation High quality balance sheets ride out cycles Quality needs to be overlaid with valuation
