Asset Class Specialization in Emerging Markets and China is the Key to Differentiated Returns
Using models to diversify a portfolio can be an excellent time-saving tool, and selecting a specialist to cover your portfolio's specific components may provide outperformance potential while managing the downside.
KraneShares specializes in core and thematic emerging markets and China-focused asset management. Our philosophy centers on the belief that investors should treat China as a distinct asset class. As China and many emerging market countries accelerate toward consumption-based economies, some sectors and markets are poised to benefit more than others. KraneShares' approach is designed to take advantage of market inefficiencies and extreme dislocations. We thoughtfully construct model portfolios by using rigorous, time-tested techniques meant to capture structural upside, while reducing drawdowns. This approach allows us to deliver emerging market and China portfolios with the potential for differentiated returns.
In this webinar we will cover:
- The Mosaic Approach to Portfolio Management
- An Overview of Emerging Market and China Models
- Performance and Allocation Characteristics Over Time
