A New Approach to Investing in Emerging Markets

Uncovering investment opportunities with the potential to generate long-term outperformance.

Emerging markets have long been considered a core diversifier by investors seeking growth. Today, Asia has become the hub of emerging markets in terms of economic growth and consumption. Matthews Asia brings 30 years of investment expertise to uncover opportunities that have the potential to generate long-term out-performance.

With Asia serving as the engine of growth in emerging markets, we believe an emerging market portfolio should provide exposure to these drivers of future growth. Our investment team is focused on identifying high-quality companies positioned to capitalize on forward-looking themes and growth sectors like health care and tech-related industries.
