Paris, 12th May 2021 – Amiral Gestion expands its equity fund range by launching a fund dedicated to Asian markets: Sextant Asie.

An original geographic approach

In April Amiral Gestion launched an equity fund that invests in companies listed in Asia and is run by Julien Faure. It capitalises on Amiral Gestion's long-standing experience of stock picking and is based on the conviction that an Asia fund must include Japan.

"Japan is currently excluded from many funds but we believe it is one of the region's most promising countries. It sees more than 80 IPOs each year, its companies are well managed and buoyed up by Japan's neighbouring economies, and its stocks are attractively valued; we therefore deem it essential to include Japan if we are to offer the best strategy to those investing in Asia", points out Julien Faure, fund manager-analyst at Amiral Gestion.

The Sextant Asie fund benefits from a broad investment universe as it invests in all market capitalisations. Stocks are selected based on a fundamental approach established by Amiral Gestion itself.

Another link to Asia

Asia has been a priority region for Amiral Gestion for many years now. It opened an office in Singapore in 2017, it set up a partnership with GoJapan in 2019 to promote active engagement with Japan's smallest companies, and it has held many discussions with the companies in which its Sextant Autour du Monde and Sextant Grand Large funds invest. This new fund is further evidence that Amiral Gestion is keen to engage with local firms and to make the most of new investment opportunities in the region.

"Asia's dynamic market is benefiting from the region's development and offers unique potential. Thanks to our positions in the region and knowledge of its market operators, we are now able to offer investors a fund dedicated to a region that is full of opportunity and perfectly suited to our investment philosophy, which is geared towards fundamental value and long-term investment", specifies Julien Lepage, Chairman and CIO of Amiral Gestion.
