EMEQ

EMEQ offers concentrated exposure to high-conviction ideas in emerging markets, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region. While its primary focus is on emerging markets, it may also invest in companies outside these regions if they have strong ties to emerging markets. Portfolio selection is based on a bottom-up, fundamental analysis to identify mispriced companies with durable competitive advantages. To assess this durability, the fund evaluates its competitive position and its potential evolution. While value evaluation includes various valuation analyses like discounted cash flow, replacement cost, private market transactions, and multiples. Additionally, the manager uses scenario analysis to assess a companys risk and reward profile under various future conditions. The fund may hold significant investments in China. The manager may seek quantitative support from an affiliate for trade execution.
