Markets are currently experiencing unusually high share dealing volumes. During this period price quotes may expire early. To avoid this issue you should accept quotes several seconds before the quote countdown expires. When purchasing shares please do so in units rather than selecting a cash value.
Aberdeen's Global Equities Team took over this fund in 2009 implementing the same process to that of Murray International investment trust. The team is experienced and feeds off Aberdeen’s regional teams. Aberdeen Asset Management is in a process of making a number of organisational changes which saw Devan Kaloo, a former head of emerging markets’ equities, promoted to global head of equities within the group, whilst Hugh Young, the pioneer of the investment process at Aberdeen, will pursue a broader role within the group. At present, the members of the Aberdeen Global Equities Team have a combined role of portfolio manager/sector analyst. Given the recent changes in the management structure, we are looking to understand whether the process is likely to be affected.
The performance of the fund has suffered since 2010 partially due to cautious positioning and a large underweight to the US, whilst allocating more capital to Asia and emerging markets, and specifically LatAm. The portfolio remains cautiously positioned whilst the team maintains its constructive view on Asia and emerging markets, although we are yet to see whether the fund can navigate its way in the current market environment. For these reasons, we are downgrading this fund from a four-star rating to 2 stars.
