Investment philosophy

This actively-managed fund invests at least 51% in companies whose headquarters are located in Asia or whose business activities are concentrated in Asia. The investment universe includes mainly shares of Chinese companies that are eligible for investments through Stock Connect (Shanghai and Shenzhen), as well as Chinese companies that are listed outside of the Chinese mainland. Also shares of other Asian countries, e.g. Japan, India, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia and Korea. Management is assisted by local research partner Qilin. The MSCI AC Asia GDR (EUR) is used as a reference index. The fund does not strive to depict the reference index, but rather aims for absolute value growth that is independent of the reference index. The fund may enter into derivative transactions to hedge asset positions or generate higher values.
