Discover Credo’s Global Equity and Dynamic Funds

Credo offers differentiated investment solutions designed to meet a range of client objectives. Whether you’re seeking long-term growth through global equities or balanced returns through diversified asset allocation, their funds are built on disciplined management and a commitment to value.

Credo Global Equity Fund

Harnessing global growth through high-conviction equity investing

The Credo Global Equity Fund is an actively managed portfolio of high-quality global equities, designed to deliver sustainable excess returns over time. The fund has a Value bias with a Quality overlay, focusing on fundamentally sound businesses trading below intrinsic value.

Why value investing matters
  • Focus on fundamentals: Strong balance sheets, consistent earnings, and capable management.
  • Margin of safety: Buying at a discount helps buffer against downside risk.
  • Long-term perspective: Disciplined investing to weather volatility and capture growth.
  • Avoid overvaluation: Steers clear of overpriced assets through rigorous valuation.
  • Opportunity in dislocation: Capitalises on market fear to find undervalued gems.

While the fund holds names like Microsoft, Meta, and Alphabet, it remains underweight in the Magnificent 7, which dominate the MSCI World Index. Instead, it emphasises Financials, Industrials, and Consumer Discretionary sectors currently offering compelling value.

Performance highlights (as at 31 July 2025)
  • 5-Year Annualised Return: 13.5%
  • 1-Year Return: 15.4%
  • YTD: 8.1%
