This award recognises those managers that have shown a dedication to the emerging markets space with a view to achieving performance, whatever the market conditions and often in areas where information flow is in short supply. Nomura Asset Management was presented with the coveted prize of Emerging Markets Manager of the Year award for its unique and innovative approach to the emerging market space; its presence in the market; its expertise; and for creating a regionally focused emerging strategy accessible even to smaller funds. Nomura is focussed on responding to the needs of European pension funds and uses its specialist asset management capabilities to meet those needs. The firm has provided asset management services to European pension funds since 1984 and through continued success in most market conditions has grown its assets in emerging market equities significantly. Nomura aims to deliver alpha to the European market through innovative strategies including core, absolute return and high alpha structures coupled with excellent client service. A core objective is to provide European clients with the alpha they are seeking within a risk controlled framework. Nomura’s emerging strategy, now three years old, has delivered outperformance in both rising and falling markets by combining three specialist emerging market managers from each of the three main regions (Asia, Latin America and EMEA) into a single global emerging market product. Clients are able to get the benefit of the three managers, but only have to deal with one. They also get the benefit of manager diversification and uncorrelated alpha. Nomura has clearly responded to the needs of pension funds by creating this regionally focused emerging strategy.

He has been with the fi rm since 2004. Before this, he held product development roles in Morley Fund Management in London, with specifi c focus on Japan, Singapore and the United States. He commenced his investment career at Commercial Union Investment Management in South Africa as an analyst and fund manager in 1996. In 1999, following Commercial Union’ s disinvestment from South Africa, he moved to London to work at Commercial Union ’ s investment management business, Morley Fund Management. He has a B.Com. (Hons) degree from the University of Cape Town, South Africa. In 1999, he attained the Chartered Financial Analyst designation. ABSTRACT This paper considers whether there is a strategic case to be made for investing in emerging markets and, if so, whether the timing is still right to invest. The question of how best to achieve emerging market exposure is then addressed, in particular whether using a collection of regional specialists is superior to using a single global emerging market manager. Independent research from Oliver Wyman supporting the case for regional specialists is then reviewed.

What ultimately does the process look like for them today, in the future, and how much of it can and should be automated and in what areas? These are some of the key questions we wanted to investigate and try and answer in this piece of research, which involved surveying 669 APAC M&A practitioners from corporates, private equity firms, investment banks, law and professional services firms for their views on the subject. The APAC responses, which formed part of a global survey of 2,235 practitioners, reveal some similar perspectives with other regions, and many interesting differences.
