Global emerging markets

Our emerging markets investment philosophy is based on a number of factors: a process based on an absolute as well as relative return mindset; genuine bottom up stock selection; a focus on long-term performance and incentivisation and benchmark insensitivity. We have strong credentials in this asset class with experience dating back to 1992.

We manage money on both a segregated and pooled basis. For more information on segregated mandates please contact us.

Please note that from 1 January 2012 the full initial charge of 4% will be charged on all purchases of certain funds to protect the interests of existing investors. This 4% charge is mandatory and non-reversible and will apply to all lump sum investments both direct and via platforms from this date. Regular savers, who maintain the level of their existing contributions, will not be affected. The First State Global Emerging Markets Leaders Fund remains unaffected.
