The SL Stewart Investors Global Emerging Markets Leaders Pension Fund invests primarily in the Stewart Investors Global Emerging Markets Leaders Fund. The aim of the Stewart Investors Global Emerging Markets Leaders Fund is summarised below. |
The SL First State Global Emerging Markets Leaders Pension Fund invests primarily in the First State Global Emerging Markets Leaders Fund. The aim of the First State Global Emerging Markets Leaders Fund is summarised below. The Fund aims to achieve capital growth over the long term (at least five years). The Fund invests in shares of large and mid-sized companies in emerging markets or where the majority of their activities take place in emerging markets. This includes companies that are listed on exchanges in developed markets. These companies generally have a total stock market value of at least US$1 billion. The Fund's manager intends to invest in a portfolio which is diversified across emerging markets. The Fund has no set target for the number of companies it will invest in but the Fund's manager anticipates that typically the Fund will invest in around 35 - 50 stocks. Emerging markets are countries that are progressing toward becoming advanced, usually shown by some development in financial markets, the existence of some form of stock exchange and a regulatory body. The Fund invests in shares of high quality companies which are positioned to contribute to, and benefit from, sustainable development. Investment decisions around high quality companies are based on three key points: (i) Quality of management. (ii) Quality of the company including its social usefulness, their environmental impacts and efficiency and responsible business practices. (iii) Quality of the company's finances and their financial performance. Sustainability is a key part of the approach. The Fund may invest up to 10% in other funds. The Fund will only use derivatives to reduce risk or to manage the Fund more efficiently in limited cases. The value of any investment can fall as well as rise and is not guaranteed - you may get back less than was paid in. |
