Our Strategies
Aubrey Global Emerging Markets Strategy
Available as:
Total Net Assets
Overview
Growth in consumption in emerging markets is, in our view, the best long term, structural opportunity in what is an otherwise low growth world. The aspirations of the 5 billion or so potential consumers in the emerging world are much the same as those in the developing world: better food, housing, transport, healthcare, education and entertainment. Aubrey’s wealth progression philosophy attempts to identify those particular sectors of an economy which are at the sweet spot of growth.
The Aubrey Global Emerging Markets Opportunities Strategy focuses on these rapidly growing sectors in countries with political and economic backdrops conducive to income growth and consumer confidence. We search for companies with market dominance, preferring local leaders, with cashflow returns adequate to support growth, and with reasonable valuations.
Investment Objective
The Strategy’s objective is to generate investment returns by investing in companies that are focussed on the growth in consumption and services in emerging markets. The portfolio provides exposure to this philosophy through active stock picking based on a fundamental bottom-up approach with disciplined analytics and an awareness of macro factors. The focus is on growth companies, which are domiciled, or carrying out the main part of their economic activity, in an emerging market country. The Strategy is suitable for investors seeking long term capital appreciation.
