Emerging Market Sector Focus

This model seeks to invest globally in emerging markets, technology and resources.  It considers all market capitalizations, with a bias towards small and mid caps. It employs diversification and an opportunistic value approach.
May employ stocks, ADRs and ETFs. Also CEFs, particularly emerging-markets fixed-income funds. A strict top-down discipline will not be applied, although the model uses diversification based on qualitative factors (e.g., regions, industries) as well as quantitative (e.g., historical price correlations). Stock selection employs a fundamental value perspective. Research attempts to identify securities that are being neglected unjustifiably as a result of changes on which institutional funds have not responded sufficiently yet.
Research for this model consists on the scrutiny of quantitative and qualitative data obtained from company literature, financial websites (e.g., Morningstar, Bloomberg, Yahoo Finance), news and commentary in online and printed form. Special attention is placed on strong estimations for price-to-earnings ratios relative to growth, competitive business models in emerging industries and healthy balance sheets. Decisions are also based on macroeconomic trends.
The model will allocate across emerging markets, resources and technology, in proportions that may fluctuate moderately. Approximately 15 holdings. Usually no more than 12% in a single company and limited weight for groups of strongly-related securities. Long only. Typically fully invested and may utilize margin.
The model will typically sell a position when the reason for purchase no longer holds, when another opportunity arises or in order to rebalance.
Funds (CEFs and ETFs) can be included in this model, in those cases a 12% allocation may be exceeded. A small portion of the portfolio may be invested in developed-world companies from sectors other than technology and resources.
