Avaron Emerging Europe Smaller Companies Fund
The Fund invests in public small and mid-cap companies in Emerging Europe ex-Russia region. The Fund creates alpha to investors through active management and stock-picking. As stock exchanges in Emerging Europe are dominated by banking sector companies and state-owned enterprises, the Fund aims to limit investing into these segments, and focus on stock-picking mainly among attractively valued, privately owned, well-managed and fast growing smaller companies. The Fund is benchmark agnostic, portfolio is built fully bottom up, and the Fund has very low position overlap to regional indices. Small and mid-cap companies is a niche mostly overlooked by international emerging market investors.
