Investment Process
Highstreet’s investment process is highly quantitative,
meaning we ensure all investment decisions are made using
numerical analysis as our guide. All portfolios are managed
by teams rather than individuals, resulting in objective decision
making. Highstreet’s governance process for investing
ensures that all decisions are well-supported and well-documented.
Highstreet’s well-defined investment process includes
a strict sell discipline. Experience has shown that a consistently
applied sell discipline is crucial to long-term investment
success. Highstreet will review a stock for sale if its GVQ+R™
profile deteriorates.
