Our Long Term Investment Approach

Going the extra mile in our idea generation

Our dedicated research team continually seeks out compelling investment opportunities in emerging markets. We continuously review industry trends and specific company news, as well as political and macroeconomic factors to generate potential investment ideas. We enhance our deep sector knowledge by fact checking our information on the ground, regularly travelling to assess potential and current investments.

No stone left unturned in our investment analysis

With a bottom up approach, our portfolio is built on high conviction and benchmark agnostic analysis. We apply our extensive industry experience and detailed financial forecasting to build a clear and complete picture of each investment opportunity and actively engage with management where possible. We typically invest in businesses that are operationally cash generative and infrastructure and utility focused. We integrate ESG fundamentals into our investment analysis and will support companies in improving their ESG disclosure.

We are active investors in our portfolio construction

For an investment to make it into the UEM portfolio, there is strong competition. We are highly selective and look to take long term positions, creating a diverse and balanced portfolio. New investments typically have an attractive valuation with strong return expectations at the time of the investment. We continually monitor and analyse the key issues that face our potential and current holdings, engaging with management teams on a regular basis both virtually and on site where possible. Our investment approach has delivered a strong performance for UEM shareholders.
