Overview

Investment Objective

The FountainCap Greater China Select UCITS seeks to achieve consistent long-term investment results for investors through identifying and investing in companies that will substantially benefit from China's transformation and long-term growth. The Fund is a long-only equity fund and employs a bottom-up stock picking approach that focuses on conducting thorough fundamental research.

The investment characteristics promoted by this fund include sound corporate governance and strong disclosures around sustainability/impact.

Investment Philosophy & Process

"If you are not willing to own a stock for 10 years, do not even think about owning it for 10 minutes."
Warren Buffett

The FountainCap investment strategy is built on the following principles:

  • Fundamental Research: FountainCap believes the complexity of China transformation can only be understood by thorough fundamental research. Via this bottom-up approach the investment team attempt to discover investment opportunities that are overlooked or under-appreciated.
  • Long-term: FountainCap believes that short term trading provides the least value to long-term results. A long term investment horizon allows FountainCap to exploit volatility and avoid 'timing' the market.
  • Bottom-up Stock Picking: The Chinese capital market is underdeveloped and structurally inefficient, which creates excellent opportunities for patient active managers. FountainCap's 'backpack' grassroot research helps drive the majority of portfolio returns.

Investment Manager

Aravis Funds (Ireland) ICAV has appointed FountainCap Research & Investment of Hong Kong as investment manager of the fund. More information on the investment manager can be found here at the FountainCap Research & Investment website.
