Asia Pacific Fixed Income Funds

Our fund managers’ most useful tool is a shared cup of tea. Before investing in Asian bonds, we prefer to interview face-to-face.

Literature

In Asia you have to do your own due diligence and discovery, rather than take someone else’s word for it. That’s why it’s important to have people locally, on the ground, researching markets and companies first hand.

Asia's financial markets have grown in size and liquidity, so things have never looked better for bond and currency investors.

At Aberdeen, we only do our own research and our fund managers are based in the regions where we invest. In the decade since the Asian financial crisis we’ve built an enviable data bank of contacts that range from policy makers to corporate borrowers in this nascent asset class.

But it takes more than an understanding of the big picture to appreciate the diverse range of investment opportunities in Asia, as we’ve discovered over many cups of tea.
