Thomas Hugger wins #1 Spot in Citywire/Lipper's
Frontier Markets Equity Managers Review
Asia Frontier Capital Limited is very pleased to announce that Thomas Hugger, CEO and Fund Manager, has just been rated the Top-Performing Frontier Markets Equity Manager by Citywire/Lipper on 26th November 2015 for managing the AFC Asia Frontier Fund.
The three year total net return for the fund is +42.59%, which is 9.11% more than the second place finisher and 27.32% higher than the average of all the frontier markets funds that were rated.
Citywire/Lipper writes:
Even more important than the fund’s stellar performance is its low risk level. This risk level, measured in terms of maximum drawdown or lowest standard deviation, is the lowest of all the frontier funds rated on Citywire/Lipper. The fund has a maximum drawdown of -5.7% and an average non-annualised standard deviation of just 2.6% in the last 3 years.
Thomas and his team achieved these results as a culmination of more than three years of dedication to stock selection in the Asian frontier universe combined with careful risk management and a well-founded macro strategy. Thomas and our research analysts have spared no effort in analysing individual companies, including visits to numerous facilities of companies in frontier countries. Some of these trips to remote areas are recounted in our monthly newsletters. With his 27 years’ experience in equity investment, Thomas has built up a wealth of expertise on company and macro-economic analysis, as well as extensive emerging and frontier market knowledge. This is now paying off, as he has reached star status as Citywire’s #1 Frontier Markets Equity Manager.
