Possible Triggers: Introduction of new products, expansion

levels, improvement in macro environment
Room for expansion in multiples due to undervaluation relative
to peers
Is future outlook consistent with past historical trend in growth,
margins, cash flows, RoEs and dividend payout ratios

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.
Investment Strategy – Risk Management
36
AFC Asia Frontier Fund
Environmental
• Focus on a company’s policy
towards the environment
based on the industry it is
operating in. For example;
cement, thermal power
generation, oil & gas
production.
• Check on whether there have
been any historical
environmental or product
related incidents. For
example; oil spill, water
contamination.
Social
• Company should be paying
fair wages and have fair
working conditions and
employment policies. For
example; paid overtime
shifts, stable and safe working
conditions.
• No use of child labour.
• Policies towards community
at large, i.e. upliftment of
society, job creation,
promoting education,
community social work.
Governance
• Transparent, adequate and
regular disclosures related to
company operations.
• Protecting interests of
minority shareholders.
• Independent Board of
Directors.
• Stable relations with
government regulators.

  • 35. 35 AFC 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.
