Bestinvest says
Manager Robin Geffen has achieved significant outperformance during his time on the Neptune China fund, though this has been accompanied by volatility - in particular, he experienced significant relative losses during the banking crisis in 2008.
The investment objective of the Neptune China fund is to generate capital growth from investment predominantly in Chinese securities, or in the securities issued by companies transacting a significant proportion of their business in China. The investment process is split into three areas:
- Neptune’s fund managers each have analytical responsibility for a specific sector and research that sector on a global basis – this research includes how the sectors behave across the cycle and their current attractiveness.
- Neptune also undertake periodic reviews of countries and regions including their economies, markets and social and political state.
- Stocks are principally selected through a combination of industry and geographical attractiveness, but ideas may also be derived from in-house screens, external research and company visits.
