Investment Week is pleased to announce that Marcin Lewczuk, co-portfolio manager of the GIB AM Emerging Markets Active Engagement Strategy, will present a session at the inaugural Funds to Watch Asia events in March.
Marcin Lewczuk is a co-portfolio manager with 15 years' experience investing in emerging and frontier markets.
His key research responsibilities encompass Latin America, CEEMEA, and North Asia, with secondary coverage of China.
Lewczuk is also responsible for making portfolio management decisions for the strategy, as well as engagement with companies that fall under his coverage.
At Investment Week's Asia events, Lewczuk will discuss the GIB AM Emerging Markets Active Engagement Strategy in a session titled 'Empowering the Underestimated in Emerging Markets'.
Session synopsis:
Emerging Markets remain a major engine of global growth. In this session, we explore how active investing – powered by targeted, constructive engagement – uncovers under-recognised quality businesses both within Asia and across the broader emerging markets universe.
By focusing on fundamentals, long-term structural growth drivers, and governance improvements, active engagement becomes a key source of differentiation and a meaningful return enhancer.
We will also discuss how disciplined stock selection, portfolio construction, and risk awareness enable investors to capture long-term value across a complex and fast-evolving EM landscape.

Last year, Investment Week announced the international expansion of its flagship event series, Funds to Watch, with the inaugural launch in Asia taking place in Singapore and Hong Kong in March 2026.
This marks the first time Investment Week's prestigious event, renowned in the UK for introducing fresh fund ideas and bringing together leading asset managers and fund selectors, will be held outside its home market.

In addition, panel discussions with leading local distributors will explore the challenges and opportunities currently faced to deliver high value returns and a differentiated proposition for clients in the region.
Event details:
