11 (S:\Investment Management\Accounts\Tango\Presentations\0709-Roadshow.ppt) Baring Asia High Alpha Investment Approach Best bottom-up opportunities as the key building block – benchmark helps risk management and sizing of positions Positive bets against the comparative index – either overweight or no exposure, eliminate underweight & neutral bets Mixed market cap – do not focus on large cap only Higher stock concentration for large cap stocks – no need to own two stocks for same trade. More diversified on small to mid-cap stocks to avoid “accidents” as a result of under-coverage by analysts, lower management quality, illiquidity, etc. More flexible use of cash expected More flexible use of non-index bets Model
