Martin Lau

First State Greater China Growth

Career MRI 99.0%

Though Fidelity’s Anthony Bolton is currently making headlines with his new China fund, First State’s Martin Lau already has a successful track record in the region dating back to 1998. Born in Hong Kong, Lau studied engineering at Cambridge University then started his career at Invesco Perpetual before joining First State in 2002. Lau works in the Asia Pacific team under the legendary Angus Tulloch and is tipped by many as a Tulloch’s possible successor. Lau's four star rated First State Greater China Growth fund offers exposure to Hong Kong and Taiwan as well as mainland China, and has achieved strong outperformance whilst offering some downside protection in what is a volatile region for investors.
