Omnis Asia Pacific (Ex-Japan) Equity

Investment Objective

The Fund aims to achieve a return consisting of both income and capital growth which, after all fees and expenses, exceeds that of the FTSE World Asia Pacific ex Japan TR index over the medium to long term (defined as 5 to 10 years).

The fund uses specific macro themes to drive a bottom-up stock picking process. The portfolio’s core ideas come from companies experiencing sustainable and predictable growth which may provide steady returns over the longer term, and cyclical or special situation opportunities where companies benefit from economic and industry upturns, corporate restructuring or industry consolidation.

The fund manager uses these themes to narrow down the investment universe, and he selects stocks that appear undervalued based on fundamental research. The analysis focuses on the business model, its sustainability and the quality of management. The manager also pays attention to free cash flows.

Investments can be made in companies of all sizes, although the bulk of capital is allocated to large, liquid companies in both developed Asian economies including Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia and emerging economies such as China and India.
