The fund, which is a sub-fund of the firm’s UCITS unit trust umbrella, Hamon Emerging Markets Funds, will adopt a bottom-up stock-picking approach and operate on a long-only basis.
Blackfriars said the new fund provides investors with a focused exposure on companies showing strong growth potential in both global emerging and frontier markets.
In addition, the Ucits-compliant fund is not constrained by any index or country listing and will be available in US dollar, sterling and euro share classes that are all unhedged.
The fund’s portfolio is subject to normal market risk.
