Rathbones Asset Management has launched the Rathbone Sicav Global Emerging Markets Equity fund, as it builds out its Luxembourg based Sicav offering.
The provider says the new sub-fund comes in response to investor demand to access opportunities in fast growing markets.
The fund is managed by Tim Love and Joaquim Nogueira, who were at GAM before joining RAM in March 2025. They will oversee an active equity portfolio of some 80-120 stocks, applying bottom-up stock selection combined with top-down screening against factors such as currency, sovereign credit ratings and governance. The fund is SFDR Article 8 compliant.
The strategy is described as seeking out opportunities in high quality assets, in areas such as manufacturing, consumer electronics, e-commerce, payments and retail, where global emerging market firms are able to compete with – and beat – peers from developed markets.
Tom Carroll, CEO, Rathbones Asset Management, commented: “The launch of this new fund represents an important step in our growth strategy for Rathbones Asset Management. Investors are increasingly seeking active, specialist exposure to high-growth regions and we believe Tim and Joaquim’s expertise will resonate with clients.”
Love commented: “Emerging markets (EM) are increasingly home to world-class companies and resilient economies, yet they remain under-owned. Our process combines disciplined quantitative models with qualitative judgement, seeking to identify the best opportunities while avoiding the governance and balance sheet pitfalls that too often derail EM investing.”
“By integrating ESG at every stage, from sovereign governance to stock level, we believe we can deliver superior risk-adjusted returns. Our approach is designed not only to capture growth but also to provide downside protection, making this a compelling proposition for long-term investors.”
