Newsletter – November 2021

This month we lift the lid on shareholder voting. Our aim is to ensure that the companies that you are invested in are well-governed, responsible corporate citizens, and acting in your best interests.

This month our theme is ‘shock absorbers’, the strategies we employ to reduce the effects of market volatility on your investments.

This month’s theme is the benefits of active management. Active management allows us to manage specific risks, adjust to market conditions, and uncover hidden investment opportunities. Dutch company ASML has been an exciting recent success story.

Responsible Investing at Booster and our backing of two climate-focused investor initiatives – the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) and the Investor Group on Climate Change (IGCC).

Our theme this month is diversification. Diversifying investments can mitigate risk by balancing the ups and downs of individual shares, and individual countries to reduce their impact on your entire portfolio. A diversified portfolio is more resilient because it’s designed to capture growth while providing relative security during market downturns.
