Strategy Description
The strategy aims to achieve absolute long-term returns by investing in companies listed globally that are economically linked to emerging markets transitioning to modern economies. The Skerryvore investment team applies an index-unaware approach, selecting stocks based on quality without benchmark reference, and reflects an active, bottom-up investment strategy. Additionally, the Fund invests in developed market companies with emerging market exposure. The allocation difference compared to any emerging markets index can be significant.Cumulative Performance
