High-conviction strategy seeking to capture the growth premium associated with emerging markets
Emphasis on active management: stock selection driven by bottom-up proprietary research which incorporates environmental, social and governance (ESG) analysis
Global thematic approach to investing targets future profitability rather than historic profitability
Focus on ‘compounders’ aims to limit downside risk when markets become less certain
Our philosophy and process
The strategy seeks to invest in companies that are well governed and run for the benefit of all shareholders. It can also invest a proportion of assets in developed-market companies where business is driven by emerging-market operations.
ESG considerations are integrated throughout the research process and via proprietary quality reviews, to ensure that any material issues are captured.
The strategy has a long-term investment horizon. It focuses on balance-sheet strength and return-on-capital metrics.
Every time we consider a security or look at an industry or country, it’s in the context of what’s happening across the world. We believe the investment landscape is shaped over the long term by some key trends, and we use a range of global investment themes to capture these.
Investment team
Our Global Emerging Markets Equity strategy is managed by an experienced team. Our global sector analysts and investment managers are located on a single floor in London, which helps to ensure that the investment process is flexible and opportunistic. Guided by our global investment themes, the team works together to identify opportunities and risks through research and debate.

Brochure
More detail on the strategy's investment approach.
Your capital may be at risk. The value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise and investors may not get back the original amount invested.
Key investment risks
There is no guarantee that the strategy will achieve its objective.
This strategy invests in international markets which means it is exposed to changes in currency rates which could affect the value of the strategy.
A fall in global emerging markets may have a significant impact on the value of the strategy because it primarily invests in these markets.
The strategy may use derivatives to generate returns as well as to reduce costs and/or the overall risk of the strategy. Using derivatives can involve a higher level of risk. A small movement in the price of an underlying investment may result in a disproportionately large movement in the price of the derivative investment.
The strategy invests in emerging markets. These markets have additional risks due to less developed market practices.
A fall in the value of a single investment may have a significant impact on the value of the strategy because it typically invests in a limited number of investments.
The strategy may invest in small companies which may be riskier and less liquid (i.e. harder to sell) than large companies. This means that their share prices may have greater fluctuations.
