GQG Partners, the new funds boutique launched by the former chief investment officer at Vontobel Asset Management, wants journalists on board to lend a critical eye to its analysis-driven investment approach.

US-based GQG was launched by Rajiv Jain following his departure from Vontobel in March. It emerged earlier in June that GQG is being backed by multi-boutique firm Pacific Current Group and Pacific's former chief executive Tim Carver, who will become CEO of GQG.
