Asia ex-Japan Equity

Our philosophy

We believe that there is a well-established relationship between profitability and valuation, and that excess market volatility often leads to mispricing of stocks.

Why this strategy?

• The strategy employs an "all weather" style, differentiating it from peer crowds in the "expensive quality" basket
• It's style-blended (growth and value) approach has led it to achieve a competitive and consistent track record
• The strategy aims to capture growth opportunities in Asia ex-Japan equities. Asia ex-Japan has been growing at a faster pace than its developed market peers, enabling companies to ride on that growth to generate greater earnings
• The strategy provides access to a compelling opportunity to be invested in the world's growth driver
