Initiation: Unconstrained approach to Asian growth

Martin Currie Pacific Trust (MCP) has undergone a transformation from a relative return, pan-Asia-Pacific strategy to an unconstrained mandate focused on providing long-term returns commensurate with nominal GDP growth in Asia (ex-Japan). It is the only UK retail fund offering exposure to Martin Currie’s Asia Long-Term Unconstrained (ALTU) investment process, which seeks to identify the region’s 20-30 most sustainable businesses using an in-depth forensic accounting approach. If the ALTU strategy can maintain its strong performance record, then MCP investors also stand to benefit from a narrowing of the discount, which is probably still influenced by the trust’s lacklustre performance under its previous approach.
