Overview
Genesis Emerging Markets tries to provide shareholders with a broadly diversified means of investing in developing countries and immature stock markets, and thus to provide access to “superior returns offered by high rates of economic and corporate growth“*, whilst limiting individual country risk.
The investment approach is to identify companies which are able to take advantage of growth opportunities in emerging markets for the benefit of shareholders, and invest in them when they are trading at an attractive discount to the Manager’s assessment of their intrinsic value.
The fund’s website can be found here.
