GQG Partners Inc. announced that GQG Partners LLC, its operating subsidiary that engages in investment advisory activities worldwide on behalf of the firm ("GQG"), is making certain changes to its portfolio management team. Effective 1 July 2022, three of GQG's senior investment analysts currently designated as Deputy Portfolio Managers for GQG's four core strategies - James Anders, Brian Kersmanc, and Sudarshan Murthy - will each be elevated to the position of
Portfolio Manager alongside Rajiv Jain, the Chief Investment Officer and current Portfolio Manager. As part of this, Messrs. Anders, Kersmanc and Murthy will have a formalized role in the management of all client portfolios. This change is also generally expected to become effective 1 July 2022, subject to the terms and circumstances of each client portfolio. Messrs. Anders, Kersmanc and Murthy are being promoted to Portfolio Managers in recognition of their existing roles in the
team's investment process and contributions to the firm's performance. This move demonstrates the firm's continued commitment to developing its investment talent and delivering performance for its clients. In his role as the firm's Chief Investment Officer, Mr. Jain's responsibilities will be unchanged, and he remains an active participant in the investment decision-making process. Investment decisions for each investment portfolio will typically be made collaboratively by the four Portfolio Managers, although Mr. Jain will have the right to act unilaterally. Importantly, no changes are contemplated to the principal investment strategies of any investment portfolio managed by the firm as a result of the changes to the named Portfolio Managers.
