INVESTMENT STRATEGY – RISK MANAGMENT

36AFC Asia Frontier Fund

Corporate Governance & Concentration Risk

• Accounting standards and disclosures not yet comparable to developed markets.

• We look to mitigate this risk through our research process and meeting with company management teams and on the ground research.

• To further mitigate the risk of governance issues impacting the overall portfolio the fund has a maximum position limit of 5% in a holding with top slicing at 10% should the valuation rise.

Political Risk

• Certain markets could face unstable political and security environments.

• We look to mitigate this risk by using a top down approach to increase/decrease country allocation based on political events that may impact our holdings.

• Keeping track of the fundamentals of companies and the economy.

• Diversification amongst markets that have political risks and cycles that are independent of each other.

Currency Risk

• The fund does not hedge currency exposure as it is prohibitively expensive and at many times not logistically possible.

• We look to mitigate this risk by using a top down approach to diversify across countries.

• Keeping track of the fundamentals of the economy and macroeconomic developments. i.e. fiscal deficit, current account deficit, balance of payments, foreign exchange reserves.
