Emerging market securities

BankInvest was among the first asset managers in the Nordic region to specialise in investments in developing countries. Thus, our experience of investing in emerging markets dates back to the late 1980's, and we have built up a strong track record.

All strategic investment decisions are based on fundamental analyses and cash flow models. Furthermore, the investment team consults highly rated specialists on political, economic and geopolitical issues as part of the investment process. On a long term basis, performance in emerging markets is driven by structural trends such as demography, economic convergence, improving governance, legal structures and financial systems. Consequently, our research efforts are also concentrated on identifying the impact of these structural trends on a country, sector and company specific level.

BankInvest refrains from investing in a stock or bond just because they are in the index. We invest on a long-term basis, selling our investments only when something fundamental occurs or when our price targets have been achieved. BankInvest is an active manager, focusing on stock-picking and bottom-up based investment analysis. We do not try to time investments or predict cyclical developments.

The emerging markets debt portfolios combine emerging markets corporate exposure with emerging markets sovereign exposure and include a combination of larger and smaller issuers. A unique feature of the investment approach is to invest in corporate debt issued in emerging market currencies. This entails a focus on company research and active management of the currency risk.

For our equity wing of the emerging market securities, we have divided the focus in two. One is the traditional emerging markets, while the other is the new emerging markets, which, in some cases, may not even be included in the main reference indices yet. BankInvest has built up strong competencies in both areas and the team has outperformed the market the last seven years.
