Pharus Sicav - Asian Niches Class Q accumulated (PHSAN)

Overview

The Sub-Fund aims to achieve long-term capital growth by engaging in a diversified investment strategy that focuses on equities, debt securities, including high-yield bonds, money market instruments, cash, and cash equivalents, alongside financial derivatives. Primarily targeting the Asian Pacific markets, it also considers investments in the Middle East, Russia, and Turkey, albeit with restrictions on direct investments in Russian equity markets and Chinese A-shares. Nonetheless, the fund is permitted to invest in American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs), and European Depositary Receipts (EDRs), which may have Chinese and/or Russian stocks as their underlying assets. This strategic approach allows the Sub-Fund to diversify its portfolio while adhering to its investment restrictions.

Products and Services

• Equities

  Investments in equities make up to 70% of the Sub-Fund's assets, with a focus on companies based in or heavily exposed to the Asian Pacific markets, extending to the Middle East, Russia, and Turkey. This provides investors with the opportunity to participate in the growth potential of these regions while maintaining a diverse portfolio.

• Debt Securities

  The Sub-Fund invests in a wide range of debt securities, including high yield bonds. This diversification into debt allows the fund to mitigate risk and achieve a steady income, balancing the higher-risk equity investments.

• Money Market Instruments

  Investments in money market instruments offer the Sub-Fund liquidity and safety of principal, catering to its short-term financial needs and complementing its long-term investment strategy.

• Cash and Cash Equivalents

  Keeping a portion of its assets in cash and cash equivalents enables the Sub-Fund to remain flexible, manage liquidity efficiently, and ensure the availability of funds for new investment opportunities or to meet redemption requests.

• Financial Derivatives Instruments

  The Sub-Fund employs financial derivatives as part of its investment strategy to enhance returns, manage risk, and gain exposure to desired assets and markets more efficiently than direct investments.

• American/Global/European Depositary Receipts

  By investing in ADRs, GDRs, and EDRs, the Sub-Fund accesses Chinese and Russian markets indirectly, navigating the restrictions on direct investments in these regions. These instruments allow participation in the growth of these economies while adhering to the fund's investment guidelines.
