The new fund aims to give investors in Europe the opportunity to access emerging markets using a systematic approach based on proprietary fundamental stock forecasts that exploit existing market inefficiencies.
Additionally, the fund will invest in 100-150 companies with risk/reward profiles based on a disciplined approach to stock selection.
Commenting on the launch, Ghosh said: "Greater financial and political stability, a burgeoning consumer base and abundant natural resources are powering many emerging market countries, creating attractive investment opportunities. This is set to continue as domestic consumption is the key driving force for emerging economies supported by wage inflation."
Nick Smith, head of European retail sales at AllianzGI, said: "Emerging markets have been identified as having the ability to generate real inflation-beating returns, in a long lasting era of financial repression. The story for growth in emerging markets is well understood, with favorable demographics, increasing affluence and growing economies these are the countries of the future."
