About Aberdeen

Global Breadth and Depth

• Aberdeen Asset Management PLC (Aberdeen), the UK-listed global asset manager, is today one of the UK’s largest independent investment firms.
• Aberdeen Asset Management Inc. (AAMI), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aberdeen Asset Management PLC, is headquartered in metropolitan Philadelphia.
• Money management is our exclusive focus.

Broad Investment Capabilities

• AAMI manages assets for institutions, financial intermediaries and private individuals.
• We offer our clients access to well-differentiated products, including specialty asset classes, backed by a commitment to developing strong partnerships and delivering exceptional service.
• Since our formation, AAMI has steadily grown its capabilities in both equity and fixed income management, and today offers expertise across most major asset classes and geographic regions.
• In October 2007, AAMI significantly expanded its U.S. operations by acquiring Nationwide Fund Advisors' active equity investment management business and retail distribution capabilities.
• In June 2008, Aberdeen introduced several U.S. mutual funds with the successful reorganization of certain Nationwide Funds into corresponding funds offered by Aberdeen.

Research-Driven

• We predominantly have an active management style. Our investment approach is based on disciplined investment process focused on proprietary research and fundamental analysis that seeks excess returns through stock selection (in the case of equities) and by identifying market inefficiencies (for fixed income). In the case of certain investment strategies, we utilize quantitative techniques in portfolio construction.
• Key to our team-driven investment approach is our commitment to well-documented, in-house proprietary research.
