The fund invests in high quality, cash-generative companies with sustainable business models via a high conviction, benchmark agnostic portfolio of stocks with strong governance standards that make a "positive development" to Asian markets.
Bulut said: "Investment in emerging Asia offers a wealth of opportunities. It is a highly diverse region culturally, economically and from a developmental perspective."
