How the Fund Invests The fund is managed by the highly experienced Hugh Sergeant who started his career in 1987 and in 2006 co-founded River & Mercantile. He is supported by a team of other managers/analysts who use a similar approach. The fund utilises the group’s PVT - potential, valuation and timing - investment approach that was developed by Sergeant and heavily relies on the quantitative assessment of stocks. This involves seeking stocks with potential in terms of growth (revenue and profits), quality (return on investment), recovery (normalisation of profits) or in terms of asset-backed growth. Valuation and timing are the final factors. Stocks ranking highly on the quantitative assessment are then subject to a verification process by the team which may involve meeting company management.
