ERSTE STOCK QUALITY

Quality over quantity

ERSTE STOCK QUALITY:
Quality over quantity

Studies show that a portfolio with up to 25 shares can already offer sufficient diversification and an optimal risk/return profile (source: Reilly & Brown (2011); Choi et al. (2017)). Even though the sector and country profile is based on fundamental equity analysis, the fund management ensures a balanced mix. This very concentrated selection of just 25 stocks therefore offers the diversification benefits of a balanced portfolio. 

 

ERSTE STOCK QUALITY thus has sufficient diversification and at the same time reinforces the potential advantages of active management. Due to position sizes of around 4% per stock, the performance and risk of individual stocks has a greater influence on the overall performance. The quality of the selection process therefore has a much greater impact on the performance of ERSTE STOCK QUALITY. However, a strong concentration of the portfolio also means less risk diversification. This can lead to higher price fluctuations and capital loss.
