Emerging Market Equities

Quality-focused research

Over four decades, Aberdeen Investments has built deep relationships throughout emerging market (EM) economies. Today, around 100 EM professionals* across the globe conduct extensive analysis, including over 1,500 meetings** a year. This allows us to gain insight into companies, trends and sectors.

By using technology to bring our global team together and improve our real-time insights, we believe we can keep pace with change, recognise mispricings and uncover high-quality companies.

Purpose

We analyse environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks and opportunities in every company we cover. On-desk regional ESG specialists, supported by Aberdeen Investments’ central ESG team, provide insight on ESG themes and sectors in local markets.

Through constructive engagement, including voting, our EM professionals aim to drive positive corporate change. We believe this helps us to deliver EM solutions that target long-term positive outcomes for investors, society and the planet.

Connectivity

Our team-based, collaborative approach ensures insights and analysis are continuously shared, interrogated and debated. This allows us to invest with conviction in the best long-term investment ideas we can find in these complex, diverse and fast-moving markets.

Through forward-looking, active investment, we seek to drive positive change and put clients at the heart of some of the most compelling opportunities EMs offer.

Risk warning

The value of investments, and the income from them, can go down as well as up and an investor may get back less than the amount invested. Past performance is not a guide to future results.
