Headstart Advisers is looking to build on the success of its Limestone Wider Russia Fund with the launch of the new Limestone Global Emerging Markets Fund.
Headstart says the fund will look to exploit the inherent value and growth in emerging markets as the world undergoes a huge shift in wealth away from the developed markets to the thriving, less indebted emerging markets in the developing world.
The fund will have a medium term investment horizon seeking capital appreciation with a focus on liquidity and Headstart’s in depth proprietary research.
There will initially be a bias to the liquid markets of the BRICs (Brazil, Russia, India and China) but the new Headstart Advisers fund will also invest across all emerging markets where there is value and opportunity. The fund will rely on the core competency of Najy Nasser, Headstart Adviser’s Chief Investment Officer, to analyse market movements combined with Headstart’s in depth research and risk management.
"In recent years Headstart Advisers has fully recognised the opportunity in emerging markets and our Wider Russia Fund has been a real success," says Najy Nasser, CIO of Headstart Advisers. "This new, broader Emerging Markets Fund will be a direct fund investing in the individual companies who will be the winners as their home markets grow. We believe this new Headstart fund is a natural progression for us which will be positioned to perform well as the Emerging Markets’ share of Global GDP continues to increase."
