EMERGENT™

Now you can invest in some of the fastest growing economies in history

Seismic investing shifts

It has been described as a new "Industrial Revolution" and it's easy to understand why – conomies that are growing at up to 2 to 3 times the rate of developed countries¹, extraordinary manufacturing power (China and Asia), reserves of natural resources like oil, gas, iron ore (Russia), fast accelerating internal affluence, consumption and demand (Russia, Asia), agricultural diversity (South America) and technical ability (India) with substantial and sustainable competitive advantages like lower cost of labour and production, all combine to make an attractive investing proposition. Even more important it's easy to understand why canny investors with foresight are lining up to take advantage of this opportunity.

Emergent™ is built to tap into this exciting investment opportunity.

Take the tiger (dragon and bear) by the tail

The massive shift in dominance from the West to the East is only just beginning and this is one opportunity that deserves its own fund - Emergent™ which concentrates on Emerging Markets and Opportunities. Billions of people in these economies are living in ever increasing affluence, moving into cities in ever increasing numbers (demanding more infrastructure), buying, building and consuming more (creating manufacturing opportunities) and there are more potential customers for goods from all markets in this part of the world than the rest of the world put together. It is rare to have such an opportunity that could run for decades to come. Emergent™ seeks to profit from that opportunity.

Targeting new opportunities

In Emergent™ Freeman Fox® has blended a number of specialised managers and index funds to offer an investment that will focus on our favourite investment themes for the medium to longer term – Emerging Markets, Asia and Resources. Exciting themes have developed in investing in emerging markets – telecommunication, resources (oil, gas, raw materials for production and building), infrastructure (roads, railways, airports, building), agribusiness (companies that grow, process and distribute food), financial services (to fund development, corporate actions and individuals).

Just think of the huge numbers of mobile phones, energy, cars, food, and credit cards that will be purchased in the next decade by these billions of people and the opportunity comes into crisp, exciting reality - Emergent™ is right there.

Emergent™ will invest in a portfolio of Managed Funds and Index Funds investing in emerging markets broadly, China and greater Asia, India, Russia and Eastern Europe, and South America, traded (long/short) funds, specialised funds (for example agribusiness, resources, infrastructure) and other investments benefiting from emerging markets, plus other opportunities as they arise.

Balance of risks

Undoubtedly emerging markets have higher risks than developed markets and investors would be wise to understand those risks (outlined in the PDS) prior to investing. But those with vision, foresight, and the appetite to take a higher risk for the potential of higher return could well be rewarded.

Maximum diversity, maximum flexibility

Emergent™ presents an exciting opportunity to "get in early" and experience the extraordinary expected growth of developing markets.
