navigating emerging markets with high conviction.
Traditional emerging markets are evolving rapidly, offering attractive investment opportunities.
Many companies operating in these markets are benefiting from this trend as well as the associated shift in demand patterns.
Lombard Odier Investment Managers takes a highly selective approach to investing in emerging market companies, recognising the diverse nature of the markets and companies within them. Investing for the long-term, we put sustainability at the heart of our process.1

why invest?
In a world of scarcer capital growth, major shifts in emerging markets create a potentially valuable opportunity.
Rising strength, wealth and growth
Emerging markets – which include China, India and many other fast-growing nations – look very different now compared with 10 years ago.
More robust and wealthier economies, lower inflation, stronger currencies and rising domestic demand for goods and services are just some of the positive trends shaping emerging markets.
Many companies operating in these markets are benefiting from these trends.
Change and diversity
With household wealth rising, demand trends are shifting from basic goods to services. And with big shifts in demand come big potential winners (and losers).
While investors group emerging markets together, they are actually very diverse. Economic strength and dynamics vary significantly across countries; even in the strongest markets, the prospects of individual companies vary dramatically.
This is why we believe a highly-selective investment approach centered on sustainability is vital.

| 3 | Business model We tap into one of the biggest structural mega-trends of our times: ageing demographics. We believe that finding business models that we consider truly innovative is key to identifying companies with staying power through eco¬nomic cycles. |
