An eye for the f iner things
From super yachts to diamond jewelry, prestige cars to haute
couture fashion, luxury brands encompass a glittering array of
premium products synonymous with timeless elegance, exclusivity
and indulgence.
Luxury brands are renowned across the globe for their superior
quality and craftsmanship. For the owner, they convey an image
of success, status and style. They are part of a lifestyle to which
consumers all over the world aspire to belong.
In economic terms, luxury goods are the ones for which the law of
demand tends to reverse – the higher the price, the greater the
demand.
The world economy is evolving. It's not just in the West that new
millionaires are making their fortunes. Wealth creation growth is
exploding in the Emerging Markets, and in Asia in particular.
Luxury brands companies are aggressively targeting this new
demographic.
Worldwide economic growth, rising income and wealth levels,
and ongoing global urbanization are all factors fuelling the
development of this prestigious sector.
Thanks to the growing global online personal luxury goods
market, these items are now accessible to a greater number
of people. The consumption of luxury brands by middle-
class buyers is yet another key driver propelling growth
in this flourishing sector.
World renowned brandsof distinction
The new rich of the Asia-Pacific region, which is seeing the globe's
biggest increase in millionaire households, are making their
presence felt on the economic stage.
An investment in the luxury brands sector is, therefore, not only
an investment in world-renowned names dating back generations,
but also in the immense buying power of these new wealthy
consumers.
Our Luxury Brands Fund seeks to target this rapid shift in
consumerism by carefully selecting only the most aspirational
names with superior brand power, solid fundamentals and enduring
customer loyalty.

PROCESS
Our philosophy is to adhere to a well-defined investment
process with strong investment principles. This is essential
to achieve long-term success through all market cycles.
The goal is to find the right companies within our target
sector with the most compelling valuations that offer the
highest likelihood for success.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
We screen the market and focus on three primary factors:
valuation analysis, fundamentals as well as the macro
environment.
The goal is to not only determine a company's opportunity
for success, but also gauge the industry, economy, and
political atmosphere in which it operates - a critical step
often ignored by other firms. After reviewing the data, the
Investment Committee selects those companies that
present the maximum potential for investment success.
Finally, we rigorously monitor volatility at an asset and
portfolio level to ensure risk remains controlled regardless
of trading conditions.
