LONDON, June 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
Harvest Global Investments ('Harvest'), the Chinese and Asian
markets specialist asset manager, announces that they are the first
firm to qualify funds for the Switzerland-Hong Kong Mutual
Recognition of Funds scheme ('the MRF scheme'), established in
December 2016.
The MRF scheme allows Swiss investors to allocate funds to
Harvest's China Equity and Asia Frontier strategies. Together,
these strategies have exposure to all Chinese investment channels,
including Hong Kong listed
securities and to frontier Asian markets including Bangladesh, Sri
Lanka, and Vietnam.
The China Equity strategy capitalises on long-term upward trends
in Chinese markets including alternative energy, software and
internet, consumption upgrade, and innovative technology. The Asia
Frontier strategy identifies opportunities linked to significant
structural themes, such as China's
"One Belt, One Road" initiative and
the growth of consumption and tourism-related industries.
Swiss investors will benefit from Harvest's team of investment
professionals, who combine unparalleled local knowledge with an
international outlook. Given the complexity and structural changes
occurring in Chinese and Asian frontier markets, it is imperative
that investors rely on investment advice gleaned from first-hand
experience of these issues. Harvest's investment process combines
deep-dive quantitative and fundamental research that is conducted
in line with the themes and macro insights identified by their
Investment Committee.
Ashley Dale, Chief Business
Development Officer and Chief Marketing
Officer: "At Harvest, we're
investing in China and
Asia as the region grows into an
innovation hub. As Swiss investors are looking to
diversify their portfolios, the
Switzerland-Hong Kong Mutual Recognition of Funds scheme
will now provide them with access to our
local investment expertise.
"Our investment team combines an international
pedigree with granular local insights when looking for alpha
opportunities. The on-the-ground team understands how
policy decisions impact local markets and the complexities of risk
in on-shore and off-shore Chinese markets as well as frontier Asian
markets. Our investment team has the knowledge and expertise
to identify companies primed for quantum
growth."
