Investment Approach

Nexus Asia's thematic investment process concentrates on the identification of long term secular trends to derive current investment themes. These themes cut across traditional industry and sector classifications to focus directly on beneficiary companies which are researched for their relevance to the theme and subjected to individual stock analysis. To this, we add a valuation evaluation of expected price ranges, market liquidity, fund flow and technical considerations to arrive at an asset allocation fall-out which bears little resemblance to market indices.  Risk control is practised from an absolute return perspective.  It is achieved by diversification and stock selection with cash as a valued asset class. Our portfolios are long-only portfolios. Nexus Asia's investment process dynamically integrates both the top-down and bottom-up approaches to portfolio construction.

Our investment process is not new. It has been practiced by our principal portfolio manager for over 20 years through changing investment conditions and market cycles.
