The Golden Horn Fund is an open end fund with an exclusive
focus on Turkey. Turkey has staged a remarkable economic recovery
since 2001 and is an attractive emerging market with continuously
improving macroeconomic fundamentals. Turkey's strategically
important geographical location, abundant labor force and
a vibrant private sector offers tremendous opportunities for
investments. A large pipeline of privatizations and mergers/acquisitions
will also help unlock value in the medium to long term for
equity investors. The IMF supported economic program has the
prospects to create an environment which provides attractive
returns for international fixed income investors.
Investment Objectives
The fund seeks to provide medium to long term capital growth
through investments in Turkish equity and Turkish fixed income
(sovereign) securities. It intends to capitalize on the upcoming
opportunities in the Turkish markets while moderating the
risk inherent in any emerging market economy.
Investment Strategy
The strategy is to have an optimal allocation to fixed income
and equities in order to achieve steady risk adjusted returns
for investors under varying market conditions. For equity
investing the fund follows a bottom up approach and focuses
on companies with strong fundamentals and good growth prospects.
