VER is a long-term, risk-averse manager which makes investment decisions on the basis of their required return and the yield potential of prospective investments. They allocate risk through investment in various investment categories, markets, industries, instruments, companies, as well as in bonds issued by different governments and of different maturities. The interest rate instruments and share instruments are liquid. The real estate, private equity, infrastructure and absolute return funds are of a longer-term duration. The firm is a responsible shareholder which does not intervene or otherwise participate in the administration of the companies in which they invest, but does maintain dialogue with their management and VER representatives may attend companies' general meetings. They believe that the best way for VER to promote the success of companies in which they have holdings is to be a responsible shareholder.
