It’s been a fun time to own stocks. Especially big tech companies like Google, Amazon and Facebook. Investors have been loving the growth these companies have been achieving, and are paying a pretty penny for it. As a result, high-growth stocks now make up a bigger part of the market and are commanding a greater share of investors’ attention.

But herein lies the opportunity. Other industries that tend to be slower growth, less flashy or more cyclical in nature – like healthcare, financial services and energy – are seeing less interest. Stocks in these “value” sectors are considerably cheaper than their “growth” counterparts. In fact, only once has the valuation and performance gap between growth and value been wider (during the tech boom in the late 90’s).

Our Global Equity Fund manager, Edinburgh Partners Ltd., feels this is a big opportunity for investors – it’s a fabulous time to look different than the market.

Join us this January in Vancouver or Toronto to hear Dr. Sandy Nairn, Edinburgh Partners’ co-founder & CEO, discuss the makeup of the fund and the opportunities his team is finding.
