Investment Managers
All Star Nomura China Fund
The investment manager appointed for the All Star Nomura China Fund (the Fund) is Nomura Asset Management Singapore Limited (NAM Singapore or Nomura).
NAM Singapore Limited is part of Nomura Asset Management (NAM), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nomura Holdings Inc. NAM currently has over A$260 billion in funds under management globally, including A$4.5 billion in Chinese assets (30 September 2009).
NAM believes that they differentiate themselves from others for a number of key reasons. These include: their disciplined investment process that has been tested through different market periods; locally based managers and analysts enabling them to identify opportunities at an early stage; and a dedicated team of more than 20 portfolio managers and analysts based in Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia covering the Asia Pacific ex-Japan region, of which five portfolio managers are based in Hong Kong.
The Fund will invest predominantly in shares listed, or expected to be listed, on the Chinese or Hong Kong stock exchanges. Nomura utilises a combination of a top-down and bottom-up approach, with a bias towards bottom up stock selection. A relative value approach is used. Nomura forms a view on whether the price of a stock is fair, by comparing its valuation relative to market. Their philosophy is to identify stocks that are relatively undervalued through the use of proprietary stock ranking quantitative models. Stocks are filtered and ranked on relative attractiveness and then undergo more in-depth analysis by the portfolio managers and analysts.
