The BetaShares Legg Mason Emerging Markets Fund (managed fund) (ASX: EMMG), managed by Legg Mason affiliate Martin Currie, is a new and effective way to tap into the growth opportunity emerging markets offer. The Fund is an actively managed, high-conviction portfolio.

Invest in the world’s fastest-growing economies

Local (not multi-national) company focus

BetaShares Legg Mason Emerging Markets Fund (managed fund) ASX: EMMG3

Active stock selection with embedded ESG

Highly experienced investment team

Emerging markets are already the largest contributor to world economic production (GDP) and continue to grow at a much faster rate than the more mature developed economies. Their growth is driven by their large populations and strong secular trends that include attractive demographics (young, increasingly educated and growing middle classes), urbanisation, disruptive technologies and innovation.

Increasing corporate diversity and significant barriers to entry across emerging markets mean local emerging market companies offer better potential for diversification both regionally and at the corporate level.

Compared with the majority of developed markets, emerging markets exhibit a significant amount of informational and structural inefficiency. In this environment, an active manager can potentially add considerable value, with greater scope for identifying mispriced opportunities through proprietary research and fundamental company analysis.

The Martin Currie emerging markets team has a wealth of investment and emerging markets experience. The team’s collegiate culture encourages robust challenge and debate in search of the best investment opportunities.

6 Source: Martin Currie Australia as at 30 September 2019, RBA, ABS. Next 12 months expected income is calculated using the weighted average of broker consensus forecast dividends per share (DPS) of each portfolio holding and is not guaranteed. As RINC commenced in February 2018, the performance of the unlisted Legg Mason Martin Currie Real Income Fund is shown above to illustrate how a comparable fund managed by Martin Currie Australia using the same strategy has performed in the past over longer periods. Excludes net realised capital gains. Historic performance of the unlisted fund is not a reliable indicator of the performance of RINC. The investment vehicles shown may have different risk profiles hence a direct comparison may not be appropriate. Equities have higher risk than cash deposits.

The BetaShares Legg Mason Real Income Fund (managed fund) (ASX: RINC), managed by Martin Currie Australia, invests in listed companies that own ‘hard’ physical assets, such as property, utilities and infrastructure (e.g. A-REITs, toll roads, airports, electricity and gas grids), that deliver strong dividend income from reliable revenue streams.

Sustainable income growing above inflationTargets income growth that exceeds the rise in the cost of living. This is achieved by owning securities that can grow revenue and profit over time.

Focus on high-quality stocksActive management means the Fund aims to have a bias towards higher quality real asset companies, while avoiding those with low quality (or high-risk) attributes.

Australian focusedIncome is delivered from underlying cash flows from real assets with the focus on Australian based investment.

Lower concentration risk than A-REITsBeing benchmark-unaware means the Fund offers highly diversified exposure to listed real assets and aims to avoid the sector and stock concentration issues associated with the A-REIT Index.
