Emerging Markets Equity Fund

Overview Commentary Management Philosophy Process Performance

Rexiter's investment strategy is to earn investment return and manage investment risk by analyzing and actively managing country and industry exposure, and investing in companies within targeted country and industry ranges that demonstrate strong and most importantly, profitable earnings growth.

Ideal Investment

The ideal investment exhibits many of the following traits:

  • Ability to generate and maintain strong earnings growth
  • Quality management
  • Strong finances
  • Established market positions across a diversity of companies and industries

Portfolio Construction

  • Use a liquidity-tiered fixed weight benchmark to determine a neutral position for country allocation.
  • Employ active country allocations away from this neutral position based upon fundamental analysis of macroeconomic variables and equity market valuations
  • Screen companies based on capitalizations and liquidity parameters to analyze roughly 300 companies in detail by:
    • Studying published accounts and accounting policies for the underlying development of earnings
    • Performing a "DuPont Analysis" of return on equity
    • Analyzing the return of invested capital and the economic value added
    • Analyzing the cash flow and capital spending and capital requirements of each company

Sell Discipline

The investment team will make a sell decision when:

  • The current stock price is not supported by its expectations regarding the company's future growth potential
  • The political, economic or financial health of the country changes
