FSSA Greater China Growth

Introduction to the fund

This fund focuses on individual company research. Martin invests in quality companies with barriers to entry, pricing power and sustainable growth. The fund is managed with a long-term sustainable mindset. Governance is very important, although Martin is willing to invest in state-owned enterprises where governance is shown to be improving. The fund also has a strict valuation discipline. The overall portfolio is usually between 50-60 stocks. Given the single country nature of the fund it can be volatile.

Opinion on fund

The FSSA Greater China Growth fund is an excellent portfolio in a very specialist area of Asian equities. It has been a firm favourite of ours for a number of years. Martin and the team have shown that they can consistently produce the goods in any type of market environment and it was great news when it reopened to new investors.
