As value investors, we make use of the opportunities created when prices differ from their fair value. We believe that financial markets are inefficient because the market participants are driven by emotions. These emotions cause asset prices to move away from their fair values, which creates investment opportunities for patient investors. Also, as various market participants have different investment time frames and liquidity requirements, assets can become mispriced in the short term. Generally, we invest in assets that are trading below our fair value estimate and disinvest from assets that are trading above our fair value estimate. We use a fair value framework based on the assumption that assets revert to their long-term average real returns. Our philosophy is based on rational decisions and thorough research. Based on this, our fund managers make decisions that take advantage of these market efficiencies, without being influenced by emotions. Sanlam Investments has made significant strides in improving black representation in leadership positions and the rest of the business. As a large institutional investor, Sanlam Investments has sizeable investments in most of South Africa’s companies. We are signatories to both the Code for Responsible Investing in South Africa (CRISA) and its forerunner, the United Nations-backed Principles of Responsible Investing (UNPRI). The Code for Responsible Investing in South Africa (CRISA) provides institutional investors with guidance on how they can promote sound governance.
