FSSA Investment Managers - Global Emerging Markets

Specialists in some of the world's fastest-growing markets

Driven by fundamental company research, FSSA Investment Managers delve deep into the Asia Pacific region and Global Emerging Markets to invest in high quality companies that can outperform over the long term. We are bottom-up investors and construct high-conviction portfolios that offer our clients exposure to some of the world’s fastest-growing markets. 

We are long-term, responsible investors and have fully integrated environmental, social and governance factors into the investment process. To us, sustainability is not just a label, but a set of values by which we operate. We consider it to be prudent risk management and a fundamental obligation to our clients. 

FSSA Investment Managers is an autonomous team within the First Sentier Investors group, with dedicated investment professionals in Hong Kong, London and Singapore.

Investment themes

FSSA’s Global Emerging Markets portfolios are built company by company and from the bottom up, with little regard for index positioning.  We are focused on growth in an absolute return sense and construct portfolios of high quality companies with effective management teams, long-term, sustainable growth drivers and strong financials. With low penetration rates for goods and services, and barriers to entry which protect profits and cash flow, the leading companies in the region have a good track record of compounding earnings and creating long-term value for stakeholders.

The key investment themes for our Global Emerging Markets strategies

  • Dominant consumer franchises

    With favourable demographics and populations that are still growing – particularly in Southeast Asia and India – we believe dominant consumer franchises can offer good growth potential over the long term.

  • High quality financials

    Banks and high quality financials should benefit from similar drivers as consumer businesses: demographics, rising incomes and urbanisation.

  • Rising healthcare spending

    Many countries are under-invested in healthcare compared to the global average. As these economies become richer, we expect healthcare and health-related spending to rise. 

  • Internet and technology

    As the world embraces a digital future, the online marketplace is a way for businesses to tap into strong end demand and a growing market. 

Investment Team

The FSSA investment team consists of more than 20 investment professionals based in Hong Kong, London and Singapore.

We have a distinct culture and team structure, which has contributed to the stability of the team. Around half of our analysts joined as graduates; and the majority of our portfolio managers have been with us for most of their careers.

Our team members come from diverse backgrounds and speak 15 local languages and dialects, which contributes to the quality of research and analysis when meeting with companies. All portfolio managers are, first and foremost, also analysts; and the entire team contribute stock ideas to each of our client portfolios.
