Article 9

East Capital Global Emerging Markets Sustainable is a high conviction fund of around 50 companies operating in emerging markets. The investment process emphasises an “on-the-ground” approach to select high quality but reasonably valued companies that offer structural growth throughout the economic cycle. This results in a strong mid and small-cap bias and a high active share, typically above 80%.

Aware that stock returns are driven by much more than company quality, the team considers top-down drivers and makes a conscious and deliberate effort to remove the effects of cognitive and behavioural bias at each step of the investment process. ESG analysis is a key part of the research process, and is done by the investment team using proprietary tools in order to better understand the risks and opportunities of investee companies.

Jacob Grapengiesser, Chief Investment Officer and Partner, leads the Global Emerging Markets investment team. The core portfolio manager team has worked at East Capital for an average of 14 years. Most of the team are based in Hong Kong in order to be close to the key markets.

East Capital Global Emerging Markets Sustainable is an Article 9 fund under the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) which means that we are explicitly looking to invest in companies that have a positive impact on the world around them in addition to outperforming the market.

The key proprietary tool developed to assess this has been highlighted on various occasions by the PRI - UN Principles for Responsible Investment. The implications of this approach are that the fund:

  • Doesn’t invest in fossil fuel companies and most mining companies
  • Has a strong quality bias
  • Aims to identify the future “ESG darlings” of the market before the ratings agencies and international banks 

Key documents explaining the sustainability process and outcomes are listed under Sustainability - Documents.
