We have published a new Morningstar Qualitative Rating and Research Report for First State Global Growth.
"Habib Subjally and the team at First State have worked hard to bring credibility to First State’s global equity capability since coming together in mid-2006. The fund beat the Morningstar global large-cap blend category average in both 2007 and 2008. Last year won’t be as fondly remembered--the fund languishing in the 84th percentile, 7.1% below the peer average. The process employed by the team with a focus on quality, valuation, and potential positive catalysts placed it at odds with the market surge, particularly in the early stages after March 2009 that was driven by low-quality, highly leveraged names. It was the avoidance of these types of firms that allowed the fund to offer a level of downside protection in 2008. Additionally, having a low exposure to emerging markets meant the team missed one of the hottest parts of the market last year."
