Investment Process
We belive China offers an excellent long-term growth opportunity. Despite the greater attention given to China in recent years, the market remains inefficient and there are opportunities for active managers to add value through fundamental research. We take a three-year view and focus on stock-picking, though we do use economic and political analysis to constrain the size of our positions.
- We aim to outperform in all market conditions.
- Our bottom-up approach emphasises finding “growth at a reasonable price”.
- A concentrated strategy allows managers to take positions that can make a meaningful contribution to performance.
- The strategy remains diversified at a sector level.
Investment Philosophy
We believe emerging markets and Asia are different to developed markets and are changing rapidly. It takes experience and a specialist approach to keep up with these changing markets.
