A long/short equity fund, predominantly investing in emerging market equities, and which offers a low beta relative to the MSCI Emerging Markets index.
The GAM Star Emerging Alpha fund is a long/short equity fund, investing in global Emerging Markets, with a low beta versus MSCI Emerging Markets, ranging between 0 and 0.5. The fund primarily invests in equities, equity-linked instruments and bonds, and in addition may make use of derivatives. The investment strategy is focused on identifying opportunities where a change in analyst expectations, valuation, price momentum or financial structure is likely or expected in the near future.
The fund is managed by an experienced manager, and employs a strong investment process combining fundamental company analysis and a systematic framework analysing analysts’ earnings revisions.
