Ashmore Emerging Markets Equity Fund

Fund Overview

Emerging markets are highly inefficient – complicated governance structures, evolving macroeconomics and immature institutions lead to elevated share price volatility. This creates significant alpha generation opportunities, as well as challenges, for active investors. The Fund’s objective is to maximise these opportunities and deliver capital growth to investors.

Ashmore’s team seeks to invest in companies that possess or represent ‘enduring quality’. Companies with enduring quality typically share four important characteristics:

• High and sustainable return on capital
• Strong, predictable cash flow generation
• Robust balance sheet
• Skillful management and high regard for ESG

A disciplined and systematic investment process is a source of Ashmore’s competitive advantage. It helps to mitigate behavioural biases, focus analytical resources and deliver sustained outperformance.
