GuruFocus tracks the portfolio of the International Value Fund managed by Sarah Ketterer of Causeway Capital Management, adding a global flavor to our Investment Gurus.


We have not heard much from the However, this morning she had an interview with CNBN during which she continues to see merit to exposure to emerging markets vs. the developed world. But she does not see the emerging market presents the same risk/reward profile. As far as the sectors are concerned, she likes financials such as insurers but not banks, and she dislike basic material stocks because of the high valuation level.


The interview discloses her favorite picks: Toyota Motor (TM, Financial), Reed International (RUK, Financial), Vinci (VCISY, Financial), and Mattel (MAT, Financial):





Just to get us more familiar with the fund manager. Here is the particular fund’s performance in the past 10 years:


YearReturn (%)S&P500 (%)Excess Gain (%)
201011.9815.1-3.1
200932.0126.55.5
2008-41.95-37-5.0
20077.875.612.3

200426.591214.6
200345.8628.717.2
2002-10.86-22.111.2



So we see a lot of outperformance years in the beginning of the last decade but during the recent years, she has been pretty at par with the general market.
