    • About us

    We have been investing in Asia Pacific and Global Emerging Market equities for more than 30 years. We are bottom-up investors, using fundamental research and analysis to construct relatively concentrated portfolios. 

    • Career opportunities

    We believe that looking at things differently is more important than following the herd or tracking an arbitrary index. We are looking for people who have a passion for business and investing to join the team and provide a different perspective on companies.

Carbon footprint

Carbon footprint

As allocators of capital and stewards of our clients’ assets, we recognise that the decisions we make as investors can influence the nature and speed of the transition to a low carbon global economy. 

We believe it is our responsibility to be a positive influence in this regard. Below we provide a combined footprint for all our equity portfolios.

Exclusions policy

In seeking quality companies, we first remove the businesses we would not invest in. While some are screened out by FSSA's exclusions policy, most companies are excluded through the team’s research and comprehensive understanding of corporate histories and misdemeanours, governance issues, bad actors, weak franchises and sustainability challenges.
