Why Mondrian for Emerging Markets Equities?
We are a value-oriented defensive manager – we invest in stocks where rigorous dividend discount analysis isolates value in terms of the long-term flow of dividends.
- Mondrian is an independent, employee-owned asset manager; approximately half of employees are partners today
- Dedicated Emerging Markets Equity team of eight
- Mondrian adopts a high-conviction, long-term, defensive investment approach with a clear valuation discipline
- Mondrian emphasizes companies with sustainable free cash flow generation, strong balance sheets, and value accretive capital allocation. The strategy is driven by in-depth proprietary research with regular company meetings
- Mondrian uses a consistent long-term valuation discipline ensuring we avoid the irrationality that can exist in a volatile space such as Emerging Markets
- In a more challenging market environment, particularly when markets are falling, Mondrian would expect to protect portfolios better given the resilience and strength of our companies, while not sacrificing long-term upside capture
- Mondrian uses a Dividend Discount Methodology to value securities, focusing on attractive long-term fundamentals and future real growth in earnings, cash flow and dividends
- Mondrian looks for companies with strong competitive advantages or sustainable moats at low risk of technological disruption or ESG risks. This investment process has been implemented since 1996
