Artemis SmartGARP Global Emerging Markets Equity Fund Class I Acc GBP

The fund is managed by experienced investor Raheel Altar who has more than 15 years of investment experience primarily in quantitative investing. Raheel joined the SmartGARP team at Artemis in 2014.

The SmartGARP investment approach consists of investing in stocks with attractive growth prospects where valuations are cheaper. Whilst this is not a classic value fund per se, the process tries to avoid value traps by identifying positive catalysts for future re-rating. The approach can be better characterised as ‘Growth at Reasonable Price with Catalysts’ and consists of a blend of bottom-up and top-down factors.

Portfolio construction is driven by the fund manager who consistently follows common sense but effective guidelines. Idiosyncratic risk is well contained as the fund invests in circa 100 names at any time. Whilst the approach is all-cap in nature, the fund further differentiates from the competition given the structural bias towards small and mid-sized companies. The fund is expected to keep up or marginally outperform in rising markets and equally deliver good outcomes in falling markets.
