Today, we proudly welcome abrdn Asia Focus plc to the London Stock Exchange to close the market in celebration of its 30th anniversary - a milestone that reflects the trust's enduring success and its unwavering commitment to uncovering high-quality investment opportunities across Asia's vibrant smaller company landscape.
Managed by a deeply experienced team based in the region, the trust employs rigorous on-the-ground research and active stock selection to identify businesses with resilient models and sustainable growth potential. This disciplined approach has consistently delivered superior returns and lower volatility compared to broader Asian indices*.
Chair of the Board, Krishna Shanmuganathan, highlights that:"The attractions of Asian small companies continue to be compelling. These companies often operate in niche markets with high growth potential and are less exposed to global tensions. The diverse economic landscape of Asia, coupled with the increasing consumer base, provides a fertile ground for smaller companies to thrive.
The portfolio is unique and it is not possible to replicate the exposure to these fast-growing, often unheard of, smaller companies through passive investing. It's where active stock picking really delivers genuine alpha through unearthing these hidden gems."
The trust's inclusion in the FTSE 250 Index and its recognition as an AIC ISA millionaire - meaning a full ISA allowance invested annually since 1999 would now be worth over £2 million - highlight its long-term value to investors.
As we mark this special Market Close, we reaffirm abrdn Asia Focus plc's mission: to provide shareholders with access to Asia's most compelling smaller companies, seeking to deliver long-term capital growth through a research-driven, high-conviction investment strategy.
