Asia and emerging market funds
Our Asia and emerging market strategies give investors access to actively managed portfolios across China, Asia, and other dynamic regions. Guided by disciplined research and valuation, we seek to capture growth opportunities while managing risk through thoughtful country and sector allocation.
Why invest in emerging markets?
Strong growth potential
Emerging markets often
outpace developed
economies in GDP,
innovation, and consumer
expansion, offering long-term upside.
Powerful portfolio diversification
Exposure to developing
regions reduces reliance on
traditional markets and can
provide a hedge against
global economic shifts.
Active opportunities in undervalued companies
Less efficient markets create
room for skilled managers to
uncover mispriced
businesses and generate
excess returns.

Frequently asked questions
What are emerging market funds?
Emerging market funds are managed investment vehicles that provide exposure to developing economies across Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe, and beyond. These regions often demonstrate faster GDP growth, expanding middle classes, and evolving financial systems, all of which can translate into compelling investment returns.
Are emerging market bonds a good investment?
Emerging market bonds can offer attractive yields but carry higher political and currency risks. Our focus is equities, where we see greater long-term growth opportunities, though we remain mindful of debt markets when assessing portfolio risk.

What is an emerging market ETF?
