Initiation: Finding value in the Asian growth story

Schroder AsiaPacific Fund (SDP) aims to achieve long-term capital growth by investing in companies across Asia, excluding Japan. At the helm since launch in 1995, manager Matthew Dobbs has seen many market cycles in his 27 years as an Asian specialist with Schroders, and builds the portfolio with a value slant, focusing on stocks with strong competitive positions and those that will benefit from positive change. Performance has been above benchmark over most periods, and with Asian markets now performing better after being punished in the 2013 ‘taper tantrum’, the c 10% discount may provide a favourable entry point for long-term investors.
