As early entrants into emerging markets we combine deep market knowledge with a disciplined approach to risk. We have created a diverse range of bond, equity and absolute return strategies that aim to help investors capitalise on the dynamism of the emerging world.

We have over 1,000 employees of which more than a third are investment professionals. Our people are located in 18 offices across the world, close to our clients and the markets in which we invest.
