The Milltrust Global Emerging Markets Fund benefits from having over 150 investment professionals based locally in their region of expertise, they have over 2,000 years experience and have over 6,500 meetings a year with corporates, decision-makers, government officials, etc.. The information edge that this brings us allows us to understand how companies can operate their businesses in this environment and gives us added comfort that we are aware of the latest developments on the ground and therefore positioned appropriately. The portfolio currently trades at a P/E level of 11 times with an average long-term earnings growth rate of 20.1% vs. 12.0% for the MSCI EM index (Source: Bloomberg).
