Frontier Markets

Our Frontier Markets equity team employs a clear philosophy with a disciplined and repeatable process to generate alpha in the medium to long term by exploiting market inefficiencies.

Our philosophy

We believe there is a well-established relationship between profitability and valuation, and excess volatility in equity markets creates potential investment opportunities.

  • Proprietary fundamental research is essential for success
  • Understanding local markets and access to local information is imperative
  • Cash flow drives long-term stock returns

Our process

Our process is focused on fundamental research within a proven valuation framework.

  • Stock selection focuses on companies with an attractive combination of profitability and valuation
  • Proprietary fundamental research to identify the key value drivers of a company and confirm the sustainability of profitability and investment opportunity

HSBC strengths

  • A pioneer with a 10+ year track record of investing in frontier markets, having formed a dedicated team in 2007 and launched our first mutual fund in February 2008
  • A truly global investment approach that invests across c.30 countries, as reflected by our customised and exclusive reference index that is reflective of our investment strategy
  • Access to the global resources of HSBC (eg offices in Saudi Arabia, Argentina, etc) and the retail bank network that provides incremental informational advantages
