01

Regional
presence

RisCura’s offices located in key emerging markets complemented by extensive travel to the regions allows our investment specialists to build up an exceptional knowledge of the asset management capabilities in all the emerging markets as well as research and incorporate local macroeconomic insights into our portfolio construction.

02

Multi-manager
approach 

Chinese fund managers tend to specialise by sector or region. They have a private equity mindset and portfolios tend to be concentrated in a few companies, which they know extremely well. This may provide good returns over the long-term, but performance can be volatile. Adopting a multi-manager approach mitigates this by including managers with different specialisations, thereby unlocking the opportunity, and delivering portfolio returns at much lower levels of volatility. 

03

Experience with emerging markets and manager selection

The breadth of different countries, customs, language and market opportunities across emerging markets makes it important for investors to partner with an expert like RisCura to ensure portfolios are put together using the most appropriate regional insights and research.

Authorisation of the Fund by the Central Bank of Ireland is not an endorsement or guarantee nor is the Central Bank of Ireland responsible for the contents of the prospectus. Authorisation by the Central Bank of Ireland shall not constitute any warranty as to the performance of the Fund and the Central Bank of Ireland shall not be liable for the performance or default of the Fund.

Shares in the Fund cannot be offered in any jurisdiction in which such offer is not authorised or registered.

The investments of the Fund are subject to market fluctuations and the risks inherent in all investments and there can be no assurance that an investment will retain its value or that appreciation will occur. The price of shares and the income from shares (if any) can go down as well as up and investors may not realize the value of their initial investment. Accordingly, an investment in the Fund should be viewed as a medium to long-term investment. Prospective investors should seek appropriate professional advice before making an investment.

For investors in South Africa

The Fund is considered a foreign Collective Investment Scheme in Securities (CIS). A CIS should be considered as a medium to long-term investment. The value may go up as well as down and past performance is not a guide to future performance. There is no guarantee in respect of capital or returns in a portfolio.

CIS prices are calculated on a net asset basis, which is the total value of all assets in the portfolio including any income accruals less any permissible deductions (such as brokerage, administration charges, directors’ fees, auditor’s fees, bank charges, trustee and custodian fees and the annual management fee) from the portfolio divided by the number of participatory interests (units) in issue. Forward pricing is used. A CIS is traded at the ruling price. A CIS can engage in scrip lending and borrowing and may borrow up to 10% of the market value of its portfolio to bridge insufficient liquidity. A schedule of fees, charges and maximum commissions is available on request from the Investment Manager. A CIS may be closed to new investors in order for it to be managed more efficiently in accordance with its mandate Where foreign securities are included in a portfolio there may be constraints on liquidity and the repatriation of funds, macroeconomic risks, political risks, foreign exchange risks, tax risks, settlement risks; and potential limitations on the availability of market information.

The investor acknowledges the inherent risk associated with the selected investments and that there are no guarantees. Please note that all subscription or redemption notices must be received by Prescient Fund Services (Ireland) Limited on or before 10:00 GMT on the Business Day that is 1 Business Day prior to the relevant Subscription or Redemption Date, to be transacted at the net asset value price for that Subscription or Redemption Date.

Performance has been calculated using net NAV to NAV numbers with income reinvested in accordance with the terms of the Prospectus of the Fund. The performance for each period shown reflects the return for investors who have been fully invested for that period. Individual investor performance may differ as a result of initial fees, the actual investment date, the date of reinvestments and dividend withholding tax. Full performance calculations are available from the manager on request.
