Distinct Growth Philosophy – our emerging markets team focuses on identifying companies exhibiting earnings acceleration and sustainability.
Bottom-Up, Fundamental Research – we look for companies that fit our process regardless of their home country. Macroeconomic impact is incorporated into our company analysis.
All-Cap, Pure-Play Approach – we search for the best ideas regardless of market cap, in an effort to broaden the opportunity potential for outperformance while staying true to our mandate of investing in emerging market companies.
