The Fund seeks to provide capital growth in excess of the benchmark, MSCI AC Asia ex Japan Index after fees, over a period of three to five years by investing in equity and equity-related securities of Asian companies excluding Japan.
Provides broad-based exposure to Asian ex-Japan equities, including off-benchmark holdings as well as small and mid-cap companies. A concentrated, high-conviction portfolio of 50-55 companies focused on Asia's technology leaders, domestic consumption in China and India, Asian manufacturers and the electric vehicle and renewable sectors.
Schroders is a leading global asset manager operating from over 30 locations worldwide and managing over EUR 700 billion in assets under management across its platform. Led by Toby Hudson, Head of Asia ex-Japan Equity Investments with nearly three decades of investing experience, supported by more than 10 Asia Pacific ex-Japan fund managers averaging 18 years at Schroders and over 45 regional analysts.
Aims to provide capital growth in excess of the MSCI AC Asia ex-Japan index (net of fees) over a three to five year period by investing in Asian equities excluding Japan. Displays a clear and consistent track record of outperformance both amongst peers and against the benchmark.
The Fund adopts a go-anywhere approach, investing across off-benchmark countries and lesser-known small and mid-cap companies wherever opportunities are identified. Research focuses on identifying companies with robust business models, good corporate governance, and strong management teams to drive shareholder return. Stock selection is driven by a Shareholder Return Classification framework that categorises companies by their return on capital profile, overweighting "Superior" (return on invested capital exceeds cost of capital, stable or rising) and "Positive Transition" companies while avoiding "Inferior" and "Negative Transition" stocks. Final portfolio weight combines this classification with conviction level driven by stock grades and valuation alongside risk management inputs.

Investors seeking for a thematic exposure into Asia or looking to further diversify their Asian investment portfolio can consider the Fund as a satellite allocation to complement other existing equity funds. Due to the Fund's off benchmark exposures and relatively concentrated portfolio of 40-60 holdings, the Fund could have a higher volatility compared to its peers and benchmark, although the increased volatility has been more than compensated with greater returns. Investors should remain mindful that the Fund is a regional equity strategy and will likely experience periods of heightened volatility and make sure their portfolio remains geographically diversified in most cases.
