Vinva Equities Quarterly Update

Key Take aways

  • Vinva delivered strong performance across both Australian and global strategies in 2025, with global portfolios delivering four consistently strong quarters.
  • Vinva’s investment process leverages over 12 million modelled stock linkages to understand suppliers, customers, competitors and global influences at scale.
  • Signals helped identify risk in James Hardie early, leading to a successful underweight/short position ahead of a weak Q3 result.
  • Vinva’s systematic approach is built on three pillars: experienced people, a consistent 30‑year investment philosophy, and a disciplined, technology‑enabled process.
  • Looking ahead to 2026, Vinva will maintain broad, diversified portfolios aimed at capturing the equity risk premium with incremental alpha, without making market‑timing predictions.
