INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
The Fund aims to provide capital growth over the long term.
Performance target: To outperform the MSCI Emerging Markets Asia Index by at least 2% per annum, before the deduction of charges, over any 5 year period.
More
The Fund invests at least 80%of its assets in a portfolio of shares (also known as equities) of companies, of any size, in any industry, in Asian emerging markets.
Companies will have their registered office in or do most of their business (directly or through subsidiaries) in Asian emerging markets.
‘Asian Emerging Markets’ are countries in the MSCI Emerging Markets Asia Index, or which are, in the Investment Manager’s opinion, an emerging market country.
The Fund may also hold cash.
The Investment Manager may use derivatives (complex financial instruments), including Total Return Swaps, to reduce risk or to manage the Fund more efficiently.
The Fund is actively managed with reference to the MSCI Emerging Markets Asia Index, which is broadly representative of the companies in which it may invest, as this forms the basis of the Fund's performance target. The Investment Manager has discretion to choose investments for the Fund with weightings different to the index or not in the index.
Less
The value of an investment and the income from it can fall as well as rise as a result of market and currency fluctuations and you may not get back the amount originally invested.
Potential investors must read the prospectus, and where relevant, the key investor information document before investing.

ABOUT THIS FUND
All-Cap, Style-Agnostic Portfolio
We seek to uncover the most compelling opportunities across countries and regimes in various stages of economic and political development. We broaden the investable universe by looking outside of the index and diluting state-owned enterprises (SOEs) to create a pool of best ideas.
Robust Approach Focuses on the Intersection of Country, Governance and Fundamental Analysis
We identify investment ideas through an improving direction of travel in country, governance or fundamental analysis. Governance is a crucial factor in the investment process. Our belief is controlling shareholders often do not oversee the company in a manner that would benefit all shareholders and not all political regimes provide predictable rule of law.
