The Polar Capital Emerging Market Stars Strategy seeks to invest in what we believe to be future star companies from across the world’s most dynamic, fastest-growing emerging economies.
The Strategy seeks to invest in businesses with a sustainable competitive advantage, which the investment team believes has the potential to earn attractive returns on capital employed. The same investment process has been employed by the team since April 2011.

Home to the most dynamic, fastest-growing economies in the world, emerging markets continue to offer tremendous investment potential. This is especially so for active stockpickers able to not only identify the future star companies but to back them with real conviction.
The Polar Capital Emerging Market Stars Strategy seeks to invest in what we believe to be future star companies from across these rapidly developing economies. The team of sector specialists seek to identify those companies best placed to leverage their specific strategic positioning in order to significantly grow their Economic Value Add (EVA). It’s a robust, repeatable process that combines strong bottom-up stockpicking with top-down macroeconomic research.
The investment process consists of detailed EVA research with fully integrated sustainability analysis. The outcome seeks to identify the future star companies – companies we believe will generate sustainable shareholder value over the medium to long term.
Portfolio manager Jorry Nøddekær has been incorporating ESG analysis into his research for the last 20 years and strongly believes that allocating capital towards real and long-term sustainable companies will lead to alpha generation and deliver outperformance.
There are strong links between a company’s EVA growth and its sustainability and so it is important to move beyond a narrowly defined checklist approach to ESG profiling; each company’s ESG profile is a unique combination of the factors material to its future success or failure. The investment process therefore seeks to:
We strongly believe that companies with genuine sustainable competitive advantages have the potential to deliver attractive returns. It is these forward-looking businesses from across the emerging markets that the Strategy seeks to invest in.
The Strategy’s distinct process and integrated ESG analysis results in a highly differentiated portfolio focused on high conviction stock selection while still managing risk & liquidity.

Neither Polar Capital nor any other party involved in or related to compiling, computing or creating the data makes any express or implied warranties or representations with respect to such data (or the results to be obtained by the use thereof), and all such parties hereby expressly disclaim all warranties of originality, accuracy, completeness, merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose with respect to any data contained herein.
Information Subject to Change: The information contained herein is subject to change, without notice, at the discretion of Polar Capital and Polar Capital does not undertake to revise or update this information in any way.
Benchmark: The Strategy is actively managed and uses the MSCI Emerging Markets Net Total Return Index as a performance target and to calculate the performance fee. The benchmark has been chosen as it is generally considered to be representative of the investment universe in which the Strategy invests. The performance of the Strategy is likely to differ from the performance of the benchmark as the holdings, weightings and asset allocation will be different. Investors should carefully consider these differences when making comparisons. Further information about the benchmark can be found at http://www.msci.com/. The benchmark is provided by an administrator on the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) register of benchmarks which includes details of all authorised, registered, recognised and endorsed EU and third country benchmark administrators together with their national competent authorities.
Risk: Factors affecting Strategy performance may include changes in market conditions (including currency risk) and interest rates, as well as other economic, political, or financial developments. The Strategy’s investment policy allows for it to enter into derivatives contracts. Leverage may be generated through the use of such financial instruments and investors must be aware that the use of derivatives may expose the Strategy to greater risks, including, but not limited to, unanticipated market developments and risks of illiquidity, and is not suitable for all investors. Past performance is not a guide to or indicative of future results. Future returns are not guaranteed and a loss of principal may occur. Polar Capital may also receive a performance fee based on the appreciation in the NAV per share and accordingly the performance fee will increase with regard to unrealised appreciation, as well as realised gains. The performance fee may create an incentive for Polar Capital to make investments for Polar Capital Funds plc which are riskier than would be the case in the absence of a fee based on the performance of Polar Capital Funds plc.

The Strategy’s investment objective is to achieve long term capital growth.

The Investment Manager’s investment approach focuses primarily on fundamental bottom-up stock selection with top-down macro-economic research and analysis.
The Investment Manager seeks to identify growth opportunities by looking at global growth expectations, demand drivers, supply drivers (including those which impact changes in supply), macroeconomic trends (such as social demographic trends, monetary and fiscal policy, government models, and competitiveness) and factors impacting company valuations to establish a dynamic understanding of the economic backdrop to the investment universe. The Investment Manager’s research efforts are directed towards detailed analysis of a company’s specific strategic position and opportunities within its industry with a view to establishing its potential for future Economic Value Add (“EVA”). The Investment Manager looks to identify companies with the capability to generate a high, and growing level, of EVA in the future (identified over the medium to long term investment horizon). Having established a company’s opportunity for growth, its competitive position and its potential to create EVA, the Investment Manager uses a proprietary valuation model to identify its expected level of future EVA creation and its expected market value in relation to its current price. The Investment Manager’s process incorporates quantitive and qualitative analysis of environmental, societal and governance policies, performance, practices and impacts. The Investment Manager uses quantitive analysis (exclusionary screening) to avoid companies involved in activities deemed unacceptable or controversial from an environmental, societal and governance perspective, and uses qualitative methods (external research and internal analysis) to identify companies which can demonstrate continual improvement from an environmental, societal and governance perspective.

We define sustainability as the ability and resilience of a business model to endure over time. Our investment analysis seeks to determine how long-lasting the value creation of a business is, and what opportunities and risks exist that could impact that. It is our conviction that, over the long term, it is sustainability factors which have the greatest ability to be a force for change.
Our distinct approach enables us to seamlessly integrate sustainability factors into an EVA valuation framework. We believe this level of integration puts us at the vanguard of investing sustainably.
There are three elements to our ‘Sustainability Delta’ and all are instrumental in understanding, analysing and forecasting the full sustainability integration and potential of a business.
Companies are analysed and then scored across the three areas–Impact on Progress, Material ESG Issues and Business Ethics, for both their current level and future direction (determined by current projections and commitments).
We seek to understand the strategic goals of companies, their positioning and their path towards achieving those goals, in relation to three pillars: Economic Progress, Social Development and Resource Management.
We analyse material ESG issues, focussing on the operational aspects of the business. Not only do we score companies on the current level of their operations, but also their longer-term direction, meaning we have a comprehensive view of how these might impact alpha generation.
We believe a company needs to act with integrity, compete fairly and be open and honest with its stakeholders. We score companies across three core factors: Fraud Prevention; Corruption Prevention and Competitive Practices.
Our investment philosophy and process is built entirely around long-term Economic Value Added (EVA). We believe EVA is the true measure of shareholder value creation, and changes in a company's future EVA creation are what ultimately drives stock prices.
A company's sustainability profile is one of the essential drivers of long-term EVA creation, which is why we fully intertwine the two. This gives us a complete picture of the best risk-adjusted, mispriced investment opportunities to help us identify the ‘Star’ companies that will enable us to achieve responsible returns.
Ongoing engagement and monitoring are a constant and valuable part of our process and we focus very heavily on how companies see the future and how they allocate capital accordingly. We view engagement as entirely integrated with ongoing, fundamental dialogue with our investment companies.
We hold hundreds of meetings each year, alongside site visits, meetings with competitors, suppliers, customers, industry experts and employees as part of our ongoing engagement and due diligence. Building strong relationships with management teams means that we are well-placed to engage with companies on a range of issues, going beyond (although still relevant to) immediate strategic and financial considerations.
These can include:
We will always vote in the best interests of clients, and for long-term value generation. We aim to vote on 100% of our holdings and are not afraid to vote against management where we believe that is necessary.
Polar Capital uses Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) to assist with proxy voting. Stewardship is a very important part of our fiduciary duty, and we see ourselves as stewards of our clients’ capital.
