The Schroder Asian Total Return provides an unconstrained approach to investing in Asian markets, seeking to provide a total return to investors while providing an element of capital protection.
• Investing in high potential companies across the Asia Pacific region
The portfolio managers are benchmark agnostic, which means they can back their highest conviction ideas with an active approach that is not tied to any particular index. They focus on well-managed businesses that understand the importance of paying a good, growing dividend to their shareholders as part of an attractive long-term total return.
• Benefit from a smoother journey and the possibility for higher returns
The ability to select stocks that have the potential to deliver strong long-term returns is complemented by the use of a tactical hedging strategy that focuses on reducing volatility and preserving capital – this helps to mitigate some of the broader risks associated with investing in Asia.
• Rely on decades of Asian investment expertise
The co-portfolio managers Robin Parbrook and King Fuei Lee have more than 50 years of combined investment experience and are renowned for their expertise in Asian equity investing. They draw upon the extensive resources of Schroders’ Asia Pacific equities research team based in six offices across the region, as well as Schroders’ London-based global sector specialists. This helps provide an information advantage in an under-researched and market inefficient region.
