DELIVERING RETURNS AND DIVERSIFICATION
The foundation of Matthews Asia’s investment philosophy is our long-term optimism for economic growth and development in Emerging Markets and Asian countries.
As active managers, we believe that the current composition of stock markets and indices may not be the best guide to finding the most successful industries and companies of the future and that our approach to stock selection can identify the most compelling investment opportunities.
We conduct fundamental analysis, with on-the-ground research and meetings with company management teams providing a deeper understanding of a business. Our research process gives us the conviction to invest in companies that we believe will deliver excess returns and to achieve this we take a patient, long-term approach.

They also have significant exposure to business models oriented towards growing domestic demand within emerging markets and Asia’s economies. This approach is expressed through a range of core, growth, income and total return-oriented dividend growth equity strategies.
