Charlemagne Capital’s investment team lies at the heart of its business. All portfolios benefit from a team approach that encourages every member of the team to share their skills and experience, though named individuals of course have well-defined duties within the management of each portfolio.
In addition to those investment professionals who focus on company research and analysis as part of the stock selection process, and those involved in portfolio construction, the investment team also includes a dedicated dealing desk as well as individuals with particular responsibility for risk management and operational control.
The investment team is a relatively small and close-knit group, with most members sitting together in a single office when not out on the road undertaking company visits. This breeds a collegiate atmosphere that supports the sharing of best practice, encourages a ready flow of investment ideas, facilitates peer review, and helps to ensure all portfolios meet the same high standards.
Individual team members have extensive experience and knowledge of emerging markets, with most having spent their entire careers in the asset class. All have appropriate professional qualifications. The team also benefits from its diversity, with members drawn from more than 10 nationalities and speaking more than 12 languages.
