The region

Asia remains the world’s main growth engine. In a fast-changing world, it is easy to lose sight of the fundamental forces that will drive stock market growth in the 21st century. One of these key trends is the relentless rise of Asia as economic power shifts from West to East.

Key drivers

Investors should focus on opportunities in Asia, which is expected to see sustainable long-term growth driven by factors such as growing domestic consumption, which remains robust, and an ongoing long-term programme of investments in ambitious infrastructure projects.

The fund structure

The Fund is designed to outperform within all market conditions. The unique investment process is exceptionally flexible, allowing the Fund Manager to position the fund in terms of asset allocation according to market conditions; as a result, it could be up to 100% invested in equities in positive markets, or, conversely, up to 100% invested in fixed income securities and cash when conditions become more challenging.

Impressive performance track record

The fund has an impressive long-term track record, strongly outperforming its benchmark (MSCI AC Asia Pacific Free Total Return) over 3, 5 and 10 years¹.  The Fund Manager, Stuart Winchester, aims for an absolute return of 10% per year, and he has achieved this in 10 of the last 15 years - proving his ability to outperform within the most difficult market conditions.
