Jupiter Asian Income

Introduction to the fund

Well-known Asian income manager Jason Pidcock combs the Asia Pacific market in search of large companies with reliable dividends that can deliver both income and growth for investors. The fund is not afraid to hold much more or less of certain countries than its benchmark. Most notably, Jason is currently not investing in China, given the geo-political tension, which is a huge underweight versus his peers and benchmark. The fund continues to deliver very solid performance. It is a reliable, more defensive fund but performance is likely to continue to be very different to the peer group and benchmark.

Fund manager

Jason Pidcock

Jason Pidcock has been investing in Asia Pacific stocks since 1993 and ran the successful – formerly Elite Rated – Newton Asian Income fund for ten years until he left to join Jupiter in 2015. He launched the Jupiter Asian Income fund with a very similar mandate to his previous porfolio and is also responsible for expanding the firm’s Asian income strategy. Prior to his role at Newton, Jason worked at BP Investment Management and Henderson Investment Management.

Opinion on fund

Jupiter Asian Income fund’s higher developed market holdings, notably in Australia, as well as its income mandate, make it a relatively defensive Asia Pacific option. Jason is well versed on the politics and economics of every country within his remit, and he makes carefully considered stock choices. Long-term UK investors looking for exposure to the region’s enticing demographics, both now and into the future, may find the focus on dividend yield and dividend growth opportunities particularly attractive.
