The fund, which uses a proprietary country allocation model to assess areas of opportunities and optimally manage risk exposures, comprises some 1000 stocks from 23 countries in the global emerging market universe and will identify stocks with long term return potential.
The equity fund will use a combined quantitative and qualitative approach to stock selection, with initial quantitative screening used to reduce the funds investable universe from over 1000 to 180 stocks.
UBP said that these securities will then be subject to extensive qualitative analysis, with the fund’s managers assessing each stock against a 29-point check list that considers a range of factors such as corporate governance, business model and growth strategy.
The fund is currently registered for sale in Belgium, Finland, France, Gibraltar, Italy, Luxembourg, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
