Our view

Why we like the fund

The fund is managed by an experienced investor, Sharat Shroff, who has around two decades of experience in investing in Asian markets. Sharat and the team aim to identify investment opportunities that stand to benefit from growth and development of markets throughout the region. They invest in companies with sustainable long-term growth prospects, strong business models, quality management teams that trade at reasonable valuations.

How to use this fund

Because the fund is more exposed to growth of Asian domestic consumers, there is a bias towards small and mid-cap stocks in the underlying portfolio which makes it more insulated from global growth trends - this aspect together with quality attributes that Sharat's team look for (high quality management, strong balance sheet), make the fund an ideal defensive fund that investors want to have in their portfolio to navigate more turbulent times in Asian equity markets.
