Invesco Emerging Markets ex-China Equity Strategy
An actively managed strategy of around 45 companies across emerging markets (EM) for investors who prefer greater exposure to smaller EM equity markets with no direct China specific risk.
See all strategy detailsThere’s more to emerging markets than China
Many investors now have dedicated equity exposure to China. A growing number of them have expressed a desire to treat China separately when allocating to emerging market equities. This isn’t out of the ordinary: large individual markets are often removed from regional equities as they grow. By investing in an emerging market ex China strategy, investors can achieve greater country and sector diversification, while reducing the specific political, regulatory and geostrategic risks associated with investing in China.
Why this strategy?
Beyond the shadow of China lies a diverse opportunity set: each country comes with its own idiosyncrasies and inefficiencies, providing fertile ground for active stock pickers like us.
We seek to buy companies for less than they are worth and spend most of our time evaluating their ‘fair value’. Our valuation-led approach incorporates rigorous fundamental analysis, meaning we can identify the likely sources of mispricing and how our views differ from consensus.
We tend to initiate positions in stocks temporarily out of favour, which increases the potential rewards without relying on undue optimism. We target a double-digit annualised return from each stock we buy, as we ride the transition from contrarian to popular.
We favour net cash balance sheets as a form of insurance, should the investment case not play out as anticipated.
Investment risks
-
The value of investments and any income will fluctuate (this may partly be the result of exchange rate fluctuations) and investors may not get back the full amount invested.
