Aberdeen’s exclusive focus is investment management and it is firmly committed to developing niche expertise appropriate to each market in which they operate. Our mission is to deliver superior investment performance across diverse asset classes in which we believe we have a sustainable competitive edge. Our style is fundamental and process-driven. Active management is the bedrock of our investment process.

We pride ourselves on original thinking and research. We also believe strongly in portfolio transparency. Implicit in our style is a rejection of commoditized products and closet indexing; our business therefore stands or falls on whether we can genuinely add value to client wealth.

EQUITIES

The Aberdeen equity process is continuously evolving but its central tenets are an emphasis on original research, the identification of businesses that we can understand and the elimination of downside risks through price disciplines.

Our aim is to add value by identifying good quality securities, defined chiefly in terms of management and business model, which are attractively priced. Stock selection is the key source of equity alpha. Our equity managers always visit companies before investing, making thousands of visits annually to existing and prospective holdings. We employ over 110 investment professionals based globally. Portfolio decisions are made collectively, and we avoid cultivating ‘star’ managers.

Mutual fund investing involves risk including the possible loss of principal. In addition to the normal risks associated with investing, international investments may involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuation in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles or from economic or political instability in other nations. Emerging markets involve heightened risks related to the same factors as well as increased volatility and lower trading volume.
