Overview

The Mid-Small Cap Asian Equity (Little Dragons) strategy aims to achieve long term capital growth principally through investment in small to medium sized companies listed in Asian stock markets ex Japan with an emphasis on the smaller and emerging markets of the region. To achieve this objective the strategy consists of diversified portfolios of (i) companies that are expected to re-rate as a result of the market not fully recognizing the growth potential of the business, and (ii) companies that will benefit from share price appreciation resulting from an earnings surprise. Through RCM’s dedicated country specialists we have the ability to study under-researched and under-owned small and mid-cap stocks to exploit market inefficiencies of higher volatility stocks.
